12.3 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

For the reaction A⟶B+C,A \rightarrow B + C , the following data were obtained at 30 °C:

[A] (M) 0.230 0.356 0.557
Rate (mol L−1 s−1) 4.17 ×\times 10−4 9.99 ×\times 10−4 2.44 ×\times 10−3

(a) What is the order of the reaction with respect to [A], and what is the rate law?

(b) What is the rate constant?
