For the reaction, A+Brarr"product" If concentration of A is doubled, rate increases 4 times. If concentrations of A and B both are doubled, rate increases 8 times . The differential rate equation of the reaction will be

Answer»

`(DC)/(dt)-kC_(A)xxC_(B)`
`(dC)/(dt)="k "C_(A)^(2)xxC_(B)^(3)`
`(dC)/(dt)=kC_(A)^(2)xxC_(B)`
`(dC)/(dt)=kC_(A)^(2)xxC_(B)^(2)`

Solution :Let the ORDER with repect to A and B are x and y, respectively . Hence , Rate , `r=[A]^xx[B]^Y`
On doubling the concentration of A, rate increases 4 times , `4r=[2A]^xx[B]^Y`
From Eqs. (i) and (ii),
`(1)/(4)=((1)/(2))^(x)`
`:.""x=2`
`:.` Order with respect to A is 2.
If concentration of A and B both are doubled,
`8R=[2A]^x[2B]^y`
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
`(1)/(8)=(1)/(2)^(x).(1)/(2)^(y)""[becausex=2]`
`(1)/(8)=(1)/(4xx2^(y))rArr2^(y)=2`
`:.""y=1`
Hence, the DIFFERENTIAL rate equation is
`rprop[A]^(2)[B]^(1)""or(dc)/(dt)=kC_(A)^(2)xxC_(B)`
`[Where, C_(A)andC_(B)=concentrations " of " A andB]`
