. A reaction in which A, B, and C react to form products is first order in A, second order in B, and zero order in C. a) Write a rate law for the reaction. b) What is the overall order of the reaction

a) r = k × [A] × [B]²

b) 3

Explanation:

Let's consider the following generic reaction

A + B + C ⇒ Products

The generic rate law is:

r = k × [A]ᵃ × [B]ᵇ × [C]ⁿ

where

This reaction is first order in A, second order in B, and zero order in C. The rate law is:

r = k × [A]¹ × [B]² × [C]⁰

r = k × [A] × [B]²

The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the individual reaction orders.

1 + 2 + 0 = 3

the answer is minerals.

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
