Question

In the following equation 2 Y (g)+ X (g)→ Z (g)at 100 °C the following data were obtained:  The rate law for this reaction is ________.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law for this equation is determined by the experimental data, which show that the rate is proportional to the concentrations of both Y and X, and is first order with respect to each. Therefore, the correct rate law is Rate = k[Y][X]. Option A is incorrect because it includes unnecessary and incorrect exponents for S, U, and P. Option C is incorrect because it does not include the correct order with respect to X. Option D is incorrect because it includes unnecessary exponents for S, U, and P, as well as an incorrect exponent for X.
