For the reaction 3A(g) + 2B(g) $\rightarrow$2C(g) + 2D(g), the following data were collected at constant temperature. Determine the correct rate law for this reaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law for this reaction is determined by the experimental data. The coefficients in the balanced chemical equation give the stoichiometry of the reaction, but they do not necessarily correspond to the reaction order. Looking at the data, we can see that when the concentration of A is doubled, the rate doubles, while when the concentration of B is doubled, the rate quadruples. This suggests that the rate is proportional to [A]1[B]2, which corresponds to answer choice E.
