QUESTION:
Consider the following elementary step:
\(X+2 Y \rightarrow X Y_{2}\)
(a) Write a rate law for this reaction. (b) If the initial rate of formation of \(X Y_{2}\) is \(3.8 \times 10^{-3}\ \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}\) and the initial concentrations of X and Y are 0.26 M and 0.88 M, what is the rate constant of the reaction?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
For an elementary reaction rate law is obtained from a balanced equation where the reaction is non - elementary the rate law cannot be obtained from the balanced equation, it is then obtained from experimental data.
We have an elementary reaction
We need to find the rate law of the reaction and also the rate constant from the given data.
