For the chemical reaction
`A + B + C rarr E`,
The rate of reaction is doubled when the concentration of `B` was doubled, and when the concentration of both `A` and `B` were doubled the rate becomes doubled and when the concentration of both `B` and `C` were doubled the rate becomes quardrupled. What is order with respect `A, B`, and `C` and total order?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`r_(1) = k[A]^(x)[B]^(y)[C]^(z)` …(i)
`r_(2) = 2r_(1) = k[A]^(x)[2B]^(y)[C]^(z)` …(ii)
`r_(3) = 2r_(1) = k[2A]^(x)[2B]^(y)[C]^(z)` …(iii)
`r_(4) = 4r_(1) = k[A]^(x)[2B]^(y)[2C]^(z)` …(iv)
Sove for `x,y`, and `z,x = 0, y = 1, z = 1`
Order w.r.t. `[A] = 0, [B] = 1, [C] = 1`
Total order `= 0 + 1+ 1 = 2`
