Question

For the reaction , the values of initial rate at different reactant concentrations are given in the table below. The rate law for the reaction is:

|  |  | Initial Rate  |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| 0.05 | 0.05 | 0.045 |
| 0.10 | 0.05 | 0.090 |
| 0.20 | 0.05 | 0.72 |

Order w.r.t. A ([B] constant at 0.05):

From rows 1 & 2:

From rows 2 & 3:

Wait — rows 1→2 give  but rows 2→3 give . Let me recheck:

Row 1→2:  doubles, rate doubles → 
Row 2→3:  doubles, rate increases 8× → ?

Actually row 1 has , row 2 has  (×2), rate goes from 0.045 to 0.090 (×2) → .
Row 2 has , row 3 has  (×2), rate goes from 0.090 to 0.72 (×8) → ?

This inconsistency suggests the table has a missing [B] value in row 1. Looking at the original: row 1 has [B] missing (likely 0.05 too). Wit
