A reaction is first order with respect to reactant X and second order with respect to reactant Y.

Which statement describes the rate law for this reaction?

a-rate = k[X][Y]

b-rate = k[X]2[Y]

c-rate = k[X][Y]2

d-rate = k[X]2[Y]2

e-rate = k[Y]

"c-rate = k[X][Y]2"

To find the rates with respect to reactants, look at the partial orders of the reactants.
