Answer 1

The rate law for the reaction : r=k.[A]²

Further explanation

Given

Reaction

A ⟶ B + C

Required

The rate law

Solution

The rate law is a chemical equation that shows the relationship between reaction rate and the concentration / pressure of the reactants

For the second-order reaction it can be:

1. the square of the concentration of one reactant.

$\tt r=k[A]^2$

2. the product of the concentrations of two reactants.

$\tt r=k[A][B]$

And the reaction should be(for second order) :

2A ⟶ B + C

Thus, for reaction above (reactant consumption rate) :

$\tt r=-\dfrac{\Delta A}{2\Delta t}=k[A]^2$
