For a reaction
. Experimental results were collected for 3 trials and the data obtained are given below:
Trial [A], M [B], M Initial rate, 
1 0.40 0.20 
2 0.80 0.20 
3 0.40 0.40 
The correct rate law of the reaction is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let the rate according to the rate law 
Then from experiments



From equations (i) and (ii)


From equations (i) and (iii), we have



Thus, rate law
Rate
