For the reaction x2 + y + z → xy + xz, it is found that doubling the concentration of x2 doubles the reaction rate, tripling the concentration of y triples the rate, and doubling the concentration of z has no effect. what is the rate law for this reaction?

Lauryn Fitzpatrick · Answer 1

R=[x2][y] rate law of the reaction

check:

if we double x2, r (new) = [2*x2][y]=2*[x2]*[y]=2*r

if we triple y, r (new) = [x2][3y]=3*[x2]*[y]=3*r

z - no effect, so z is not included
