The reaction of 2 A B 2 D has the following experimentally

The reaction of 2 A + B 2 D has the following experimentally determined rate law:

rate = k [A]2 [C] where C is a catalyst.

What is the rate law of the reverse reaction: 2 D 2 A + B?

A.  rate = k [C] [D]

B. rate = k [C] [D]2

C.  rate = k [B] [C] [D]

D. rate = k [B] [C] [D]2

E. rate = k [B]–1 [C] [D]2

F. More information is needed to answer.

Please state the steps and logic to your reasoning for the answer. Thank you!

Solution

More information is needed for answer because reaction order is predicted experimentally unless the reaction is an elementary type and so has not been mentioned here ...we conclude that dependence of reaction on concentration and hence the order of reaction needs more information to answer...

Option F
