5. (four marks) Consider the reaction A + B → 2C

A student performs three experiments studying initial concentrations and initial rates. The data is summarized
in the table below.

[A] [B]
Rate (mol/L∙s)
1.60 1.60 2.8 x 10-1
3.20 1.60 5.6 x 10-1
1.60 3.20 2.8 x 10-1

a) What is the order of this reaction with respect to A? Explain how you know.

b) What is the order of this reaction with respect to B? Explain how you know.
c)

● Order with respect to A: First-order.

When [A] is doubled from 1.60 mol/L to 3.20 mol/L, the rate also doubles from 2.8 x 10⁻¹ to 5.6 x 10⁻¹ mol/L●s.

This indicates that the reaction is first-order with respect to A.

● Order with respect to B: Zero-order.

when [B] is doubled from 1.60 mol/L to 3.20 mol/L, the rate remains constant at 2.8 x 10⁻¹ mol/L●s.
This indicates that the reaction is zero-order with respect to B, as the rate does not depend on the concentration of B.

6. (eight marks) The decomposition of phosphine, PH3, occurs according to the following chemical equation:
PH3(g) → P4(g) + 6 H2(g)

Initially there is no P4 in the reaction chamber, but after 25 seconds a concentration of 1.5 × 10-2 mol/L is
detected.
a) Calculate the average rate of reaction with respect to P4.
b) Calculate the rate at which PH3 is disappearing.

● PH₃(g) → P₄(g) + 6 H₂(g)

● After 25 seconds, [P₄] = 1.5 × 10⁻² mol/L.

a) Average rate of reaction with respect to P₄:

● Formula: Rate=Δ[P4]/Δt
● Calculation: Rate=(1.5×10−2)/25​=6.0×10−4 mol/L●s.

SCH4U Lesson Assignment Page 9

 b) Rate at which PH₃ is disappearing:

Initially, 3.5 moles of NH3 are placed in a 4.0 L reaction chamber. After 3.0 minutes only 1.6 moles of NH3
remain.

a) Calculate the average rate of reaction with respect to NH3.

b) Calculate the rate at which H2O is being formed.

a) Average rate of reaction with respect to NH₃:

● Formula: Rate=Δ[NH3]/Δt
● Calculation: 3.5−1.6 /3×60=1.9/180
● =1.06×10−2 mol/L●s.

6/4×1.06×10−2=1.59×10−2 mol/L●s.
