Question

In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction was measured at a different initial concentration of A and B as given below.

What is the order with respect to A and B?

Answer 1

The general rate law is rate = k [A]^α [B]^β where α, β are ordered with respect to A and B respectively.

The given data is

Thus order with respect to A is 0.5 and that of B is 0.
