The correct Answer is:
To determine the rate law for the reaction \( A + B \rightarrow \text{products} \), we will analyze the information provided step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the first observation The first observation states that when the concentration of \( A \) is doubled, the rate of the reaction is also doubled. This implies that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of \( A \). Mathematically, we can express this as: \[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^m[B]^n \] where \( k \) is the rate constant, and \( m \) and \( n \) are the orders of the reaction with respect to \( A \) and \( B \) respectively. From the first observation: - If we double \( [A] \) (i.e., \( [A] \rightarrow 2[A] \)), the rate also doubles: \[ 2 \cdot \text{Rate} = k(2[A])^m[B]^n \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \cdot \text{Rate} = 2^m k[A]^m[B]^n \] Since the original rate is \( k[A]^m[B]^n \), we can equate: \[ 2 = 2^m \] This implies \( m = 1 \). Thus, the reaction is first order with respect to \( A \). ### Step 2: Understand the second observation The second observation states that when the concentrations of both \( A \) and \( B \) are doubled, the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 8. Using the rate law we established: \[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^m[B]^n \] If we double both \( [A] \) and \( [B] \): \[ \text{Rate}' = k(2[A])^m(2[B])^n = k(2^1[A])(2^n[B]) = k \cdot 2^m \cdot 2^n \cdot [A]^m \cdot [B]^n \] Substituting \( m = 1 \): \[ \text{Rate}' = k \cdot 2^1 \cdot 2^n \cdot [A]^1 \cdot [B]^n = 2^{1+n} \cdot k[A][B]^n \] According to the second observation, this new rate is 8 times the original rate: \[ \text{Rate}' = 8 \cdot \text{Rate} = 8 \cdot k[A][B]^n \] Equating the two expressions for \( \text{Rate}' \): \[ 2^{1+n} \cdot k[A][B]^n = 8 \cdot k[A][B]^n \] Dividing both sides by \( k[A][B]^n \) (assuming \( [A] \) and \( [B] \) are not zero): \[ 2^{1+n} = 8 \] Since \( 8 = 2^3 \), we have: \[ 1 + n = 3 \implies n = 2 \] Thus, the reaction is second order with respect to \( B \). ### Conclusion Combining the orders we found: - The reaction is first order with respect to \( A \) (i.e., \( m = 1 \)) - The reaction is second order with respect to \( B \) (i.e., \( n = 2 \)) Therefore, the rate law for the reaction \( A + B \rightarrow \text{products} \) is: \[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^1[B]^2 \] ### Final Answer \[ \text{Rate} = k[A][B]^2 \]

To determine the rate law for the reaction \( A + B \rightarrow \text{products} \), we will analyze the information provided step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the first observation The first observation states that when the concentration of \( A \) is doubled, the rate of the reaction is also doubled.
