Consider a chemical reaction:
4A + 3B⟶ C + 2D
the initial rate was measured at three different reactant concentrations. What is the rate law for the reaction?
Trial Initial [A] Initial [B] Initial Rate
(mol/L) (mol/L) (mol/(L·min))
1 0.060 0.010 5.40 × 10⁻²
2 0.020 0.010 6.00 × 10⁻³
3 0.020 0.030 6.00× 10⁻³
A) Rate = k[A]³
B) Rate = k[A]²
C) Rate = k[A]³[B]
D) Rate = k[A]²[B]
