Given the following hypothetical reaction: 2 E(g) + F(g) + G(g) → products.
If the rate law is: Rate = k[E]²[F]^-1,what is the order of reaction with respect to E?

Question

Given the following hypothetical reaction: 2 E(g)+ F(g)+ G(g)→ products. If the rate law is: Rate = k[E]²[F]^-1,what is the order of reaction with respect to E?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of reaction with respect to a reactant is determined by the exponent of its concentration in the rate law. Here, the exponent of [E] is 2, indicating a second-order reaction with respect to E.
