Question

consider the following rate law.

\\ \text{rate} = k\text{a}^x \\

determine the value of \\(x\\) if the rate doubles when \\(\text{a}\\) is doubled.

\\(x =\\)

determine the value of \\(x\\) if no change in rate occurs when \\(\text{a}\\) is doubled.

\\(x =\\)

Explanation:

Set up the rate ratio equation

$$ \frac{\text{rate}_2}{\text{rate}_1} = \frac{k(2[\text{A}]_1)^x}{k[\text{A}]_1^x} = 2^x $$

Solve for first case (rate doubles)

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Solve for second case (no change in rate)

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Answer:

Question 1

Determine the value of \(x\) if the rate doubles when \([\text{A}]\) is doubled.
\(x =\) <blank>1</blank>

Question 2

Determine the value of \(x\) if no change in rate occurs when \([\text{A}]\) is doubled.
\(x =\) <blank>0</blank>
