Hi there, I was wondering if someone could give me hand with this question. I understand the basics of initial rate law and 0, 1st and 2nd order however the equations I use are giving strange answers to this particular question. For example, my answer for k was 0.0422347714, is this correct? Here is the question:
Q: Consider the reaction P4 + 6H 2==> 4PH3
A rate study of this reaction was conducted at 298K. The data that were obtained are shown in the table:
[P4] mol/L [H2] mol/L Initial Rate mol/L.s
0.0110 0.0075 0.000320
0.0110 0.0150 0.000640
0.0220 0.0150 0.000639
a) What is the order with respect to P4 and H2?
b) Write the rate law for this reaction
c) Determine the value and units of the rate constant, k
Cheers!
