-What is the order of the reaction with respect to B?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of a reaction with respect to a reactant (in this case, B) is determined by the exponent of its concentration in the rate law equation. If the question does not provide specific details about the rate law or how the concentration of B affects the rate, the most direct answer cannot be determined without additional context. However, given only the options, the choice "D) 1" suggests a first-order reaction with respect to B, which is a common scenario in chemical kinetics when the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant. Without specific information, this answer is based on a common understanding of reaction orders.
