Explanation:

Problem (Top Reaction: \( 3A + B

ightarrow 3C \))

Step 1: Determine Order with Respect to B

Compare Experiment 0 and 1 (same [A]).
\( \frac{[\text{B}]_0}{[\text{B}]_1} = \frac{0.225}{0.075} = 3 \), \( \frac{\text{Rate}_0}{\text{Rate}_1} = \frac{1.791}{0.597} = 3 \).
Order of B: \( n_B = 1 \) (since \( 3^1 = 3 \)).

Step 2: Determine Order with Respect to A

Compare Experiment 1 and 2 (same [B]).
\( \frac{[\text{A}]_2}{[\text{A}]_1} = \frac{0.225}{0.075} = 3 \), \( \frac{\text{Rate}_2}{\text{Rate}_1} = \frac{1.791}{0.597} = 3 \).
Order of A: \( n_A = 1 \) (since \( 3^1 = 3 \)).

Step 3: Find Rate Constant \( k \)

Rate law: \( \text{Rate} = k[\text{A}]^1[\text{B}]^1 \).
Use Experiment 1: \( 0.597 = k(0.075)(0.075) \).
\( k = \frac{0.597}{(0.075)(0.075)} = 106.4 \, \text{M}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} \).

Step 4: Calculate Rate for \( [\text{A}] = 0.9540 \, \text{M} \), \( [\text{B}] = 0.034 \, \text{M} \)

\( \text{Rate} = 106.4 \times 0.9540 \times 0.034 \approx 3.47 \, \text{M/s} \).

Problem 6 (Reaction: \( A + B

ightarrow 3C \))

Step 1: Determine Order with Respect to A

Compare Experiment 0 and 1 (same [B]).
\( \frac{[\text{A}]_1}{[\text{A}]_0} = \frac{0.081}{0.027} = 3 \), \( \frac{\text{Rate}_1}{\text{Rate}_0} = \frac{3.91}{3.91} = 1 \).
Order of A: \( n_A = 0 \) (since \( 3^0 = 1 \)).

Step 2: Determine Order with Respect to B

Compare Experiment 0 and 2 (same [A]).
\( \frac{[\text{B}]_2}{[\text{B}]_0} = \frac{0.081}{0.027} = 3 \), \( \frac{\text{Rate}_2}{\text{Rate}_0} = \frac{35.19}{3.91} = 9 = 3^2 \).
Order of B: \( n_B = 2 \).

Step 3: Find Rate Constant \( k \)

Rate law: \( \text{Rate} = k[\text{A}]^0[\text{B}]^2 = k[\text{B}]^2 \).
Use Experiment 0: \( 3.91 = k(0.027)^2 \).
\( k = \frac{3.91}{(0.027)^2} \approx 5382.4 \, \text{M}^{-2}\text{s}^{-1} \).

Step 4: Calculate Rate for \( [\text{A}] = 0.0610 \, \text{M} \), \( [\text{B}] = 0.80 \, \text{M} \)

\( \text{Rate} = 5382.4 \times (0.80)^2 \approx 3444.7 \, \text{M/s} \) (close to 3434, likely rounding differences).

Problem 7 (Reaction: \( 2A + 2B

ightarrow 2C \))

Step 1: Determine Order with Respect to B

Compare Experiment 0 and 1 (same [A]).
\( \frac{[\text{B}]_0}{[\text{B}]_1} = \frac{0.0201}{0.0067} = 3 \), \( \frac{\text{Rate}_0}{\text{Rate}_1} = \frac{0.282}{0.094} = 3 \).
Order of B: \( n_B = 1 \) (since \( 3^1 = 3 \)).

Step 2: Determine Order with Respect to A

Compare Experiment 1 and 2 (same [B]).
\( \frac{[\text{A}]_2}{[\text{A}]_1} = \frac{0.0201}{0.0067} = 3 \), \( \frac{\text{Rate}_2}{\text{Rate}_1} = \frac{0.846}{0.094} = 9 = 3^2 \).
Order of A: \( n_A = 2 \) (since \( 3^2 = 9 \)).

Step 3: Find Rate Constant \( k \)

Rate law: \( \text{Rate} = k[\text{A}]^2[\text{B}]^1 \).
Use Experiment 1: \( 0.094 = k(0.0067)^2(0.0067) \).
\( k = \frac{0.094}{(0.0067)^3} \approx 302,000 \, \text{M}^{-3}\text{s}^{-1} \) (simplify: \( (0.0067)^3 \approx 3.007 \times 10^{-7} \), \( k \approx 0.094 / 3.007 \times 10^{-7} \approx 3.126 \times 10^5 \)).

Step 4: Calculate Rate for \( [\text{A}] = 0.50 \, \text{M} \), \( [\text{B}] = 0.03810 \, \text{M} \)

\( \text{Rate} = 3.126 \times 10^5 \times (0.50)^2 \times 0.03810 \approx 2950 \, \text{M/s} \) (approximate, depends on \( k \) precision).
