K = 0.167 s⁻¹

Explanation:

1) Rate law, at a given temperature:

Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:

r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ

2) Use the data from the table

Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:

r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

Divide r₂ by r₁: [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0

Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:

r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s

Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]

2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1

3) Write the rate law

r = K [A]¹ [B]⁰ = K[A]

This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.

4) Use any set of data to find K

With the first set of data

r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹

Result: the rate constant is K = 0.167 s⁻¹

Plz choose one of the compounds from the table and explain how you know the numbers of atoms in your formula. is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? why or why not? with a limited number of elements (less than 120 are known), does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world?
