Jessica is studying the reaction:
2A + B + C → D
If the rate law for this reaction is r = k[A]^2 [B], what is the order of reaction with respect to C?
a) zero
b) first
c) second
d) third
e) k
The order of reaction with respect to C can be determined by observing the rate law equation. In this case, the rate law is:
r = k[A]^2 [B]
Since C is not present in the rate law equation, it means that the concentration of C does not affect the rate of the reaction. Thus, the order of reaction with respect to C is zero.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) zero
IS a) YOUR FINAL AND CORRECT ANSWER? GIVE ME THE CORRECT AND FINAL ANSWER?
I apologize for any confusion. Yes, the correct and final answer is:
a) zero
To determine the order of reaction with respect to C, we need to analyze the rate law equation provided: r = k[A]^2 [B].
In the rate law equation, the exponents (or powers) to which the concentrations of the reactants are raised are indicative of the order of the reaction with respect to each reactant.
Since the concentration of C is not included in the rate law equation, that means the order of the reaction with respect to C is zero.
Therefore, the correct answer is option a) zero.
