For a non-stoichiometric reaction 2A + B C +D, the following kinetic data were obtained in three separate experiments, all at 298 K.
Initial Concentration (A) |
Initial Concentration (B) |
Initial rate of formation of C (mol L-1 S-1) |
0.1 M | 0.1 M | |
0.1 M | 0.2 M | |
0.2 M | 0.1 M |
The rate law for the formation of C is:
1. d[C]/dt = k[ A][B]
2. d[C]/dt = k[ A]2[B]
3. d[C]/dt = k[ A][B]2
4. d[C]/dt = k[ A]
