The initial rate of the reaction of species A and B A + 2 B → Cwas measured at a temperature of 25 °C for various initialconcentrations of A and B. Data are collected in the table.Determine the rate equation from these data. What is the overallorder of the reaction? What is the value of the rate constant?(Give the appropriate units of k.)
| Initial Concentrations, mol/L | | Initial Rate |
Experiment | [A] | [B] | mol L-1 s-1 |
1 | 0.100 | 0.100 | 4.02 x 10-5 |
2 | 0.300 | 0.100 | 1.21 x 10-4 |
3 | 0.100 | 0.300 | 1.21 x 10-4 |
