Consider the following reaction: A + B → C
Initial Initial Initial
[A] [B2] ∆[C]/∆t
M M M/s
1 0.1 0.1 4.0 × 10−4
2 0.2 0.1 1.6 × 10−3
3 0.1 0.2 4.0 × 10−4
Given the dependence of the initial rate of
formation of C on the initial concentration of
A and B in the table, what are the values of
the orders of [A] and [B]?
1. A : 2; B : 0
2. A : 1; B : 2
3. A : 1; B : 1
4. A : 2; B : 1
5. A : 2; B : 2
