Rate Laws

 

 1) The rate law for a reaction is Rate = k[A][B]. If the concentration of A doubles, the rate of the reaction will do which of the following?

     (a) not change

     (b) increase by a factor of 2

     (c) increase by a factor of 4

     (d) increase by a factor of 8

 

 2) Assuming that the equation below represents an elementary reaction, predict the rate expression (rate law) for this reaction.

CO(g) + Cl2(g) COCl2(g)

     (a) Rate = k[CO]

     (b) Rate = k[Cl2]

     (c) Rate = k[CO][Cl2 ][COCl2]

     (d) Rate = k[CO][Cl2]

     

 3) The rate law for a reaction is Rate = k[A]2[B]. If the concentration of A doubles, the rate of the reaction will do which of the following?

     (a) not change

     (b) increase by a factor of 2

     (c) increase by a factor of 4

     (d) increase by a factor of 8

 

  4) Assuming that the equation below represents an elementary reaction, predict the rate expression (rate law) for this reaction.

Ca(s) + Cl2(g) CaCl2(s)

     (a) Rate = k[Ca][Cl2]

     (b) Rate = k[Ca]

     (c) Rate = k[Cl2]

     (d) Rate = k[Ca][Cl2][CaCl2]

 

 5) The rate law for a reaction is Rate = k[A][B]. If the concentration of B triples, the rate of the reaction will do which of the following?

     (a) not change

     (b) increase by a factor of 3

     (c) increase by a factor of 9

      (d) increase by a factor of 27

 

 6) Assuming that the equation below represents an elementary reaction, predict the rate expression (rate law) for this reaction.

2O3(g) 3O2(g)

     (a) Rate = k[O3]

     (b) Rate = k[O3]2[O2]3

     (c) Rate = k[O2]3

     (d) Rate = k[O3]2
