1

What is the rate of the following reaction: 2A + B → C?

A is a reagent and its stochiometric coefficient is 2. Reaction rate of a reagent:
 

- 1α ∆[reagent]∆t

α = stochiometric coefficient
[reagent] = concentration of the reagent (in mol.L-1)

What is the overall order of a reaction with a rate = k [A]2 [B]?

The overall order of reaction is the sum of the orders of reaction of all the reactants

What are the units of the constant k in the rate of reaction = k [A]2 [B] (concentration in mol.L-1) ?

The rate of reaction is in mol.L-1.s-1 and [A]2 [B] is in mol3.L-3   ⇒    k is in mol-2.L2.s-1

What is correct concerning the half-time of a first-order reaction?

For a first-order reaction:   t1/2 = ln 2k

What is correct concerning the half-time of a second-order reaction?

For a second-order reaction:   t1/2 = 1k [A]0

What is the relationship between [A] and t for a first-order reaction?

For a first-order reaction:   - ∆[A]∆t = k [A]

After integrating:    ln [A] = ln [A]0 - kt   ⇒   [A][A]0 = e-kt
