Question

The results given in the below table were obtained during kinetic studies of the following reaction:

| Experiment |  |  | Initial rate  |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| I | 0.1 | 0.1 |  |
| II | 0.1 | 0.2 |  |
| III | 0.2 | 0.1 |  |
| IV | X | 0.2 |  |
| V | 0.3 | Y |  |

X and Y in the given table are respectively:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1 — Determine orders:

From Exp I & II (A constant): Rate doubles when B doubles → order w.r.t. B = 2 (rate quadruples: , so )

From Exp I & III (B constant): Rate doubles when A doubles → order w.r.t. A = 1

Rate law:

From Exp I:

Step 2 — Find X (Exp IV):

Step 3 — Find Y (Exp V):

Answer: Option (3) — 0.3, 0.4
