The correct Answer is:
To determine the order of the reaction given the rate law and the condition that A is taken in large excess, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Rate Law**: The rate law for the reaction is given as: \[ \frac{d(\text{Product})}{dt} = k[A]^2[B] \] 2. **Identify the Condition of Excess Reactant**: Since A is taken in large excess, its concentration will remain relatively constant throughout the reaction. This means that changes in the concentration of A will not significantly affect the rate of reaction. 3. **Simplify the Rate Expression**: When A is in large excess, we can treat its concentration as a constant. Let's denote this constant concentration of A as \( [A]_0 \). The rate law can then be simplified: \[ \frac{d(\text{Product})}{dt} = k[A]^2[B] \approx k' [B] \] where \( k' = k[A]_0^2 \) is a new rate constant that incorporates the constant concentration of A. 4. **Determine the Order of the Reaction**: In the simplified rate expression \( \frac{d(\text{Product})}{dt} = k' [B] \), the reaction rate now depends only on the concentration of B. The order of the reaction with respect to B is 1, since the concentration of B is raised to the first power. 5. **Conclude the Overall Order of the Reaction**: Since the reaction is first order with respect to B and zero order with respect to A (due to its excess), the overall order of the reaction is: \[ \text{Overall Order} = 0 + 1 = 1 \] ### Final Answer: The order of the reaction when A is taken in large excess is **1**.

To determine the order of the reaction given the rate law and the condition that A is taken in large excess, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Rate Law**: The rate law for the reaction is given as: \[ \frac{d(\text{Product})}{dt} = k[A]^2[B] ...
