Answer:
Explanation:
A + B + C ⟶ D
Our problem is to determine the values of m, n, and o.
We use the method of initial rates to determine the order of reaction with respect to a component.
(a) Order with respect to A
We must find a pair of experiments in which [A] changes, but [B] and C do not.
They would be Experiments 1 and 2.
[B] and [C] are constant, so only [A] is changing.
(b) Order with respect to B
We must find a pair of experiments in which [B] changes, but [A] and [C] do not. There are none.
They would be Experiments 2 and 3.
[A] and [C] are constant, so only [B] is changing.
(c) Order with respect to C
We must find a pair of experiments in which [C] changes, but [A] and [B] do not.
They would be Experiments 1 and 4.
[A] and [B] are constant, so only [C] is changing.
