(a) The following kinetic data were obtained for the reaction: 2 A+B C+2D , (×10-³ mol-dm³) No. [A], (x10-³ mol-dm³) 1 1.5 Rate (mol-dm-³-5-³) 3.7 x 10 1.5 3.0 1.5 7.4 x 10-7 22.0% 10-7 3.0 4.5 2.7 ? (1) Write the rate law; and the overall order of reaction [3 marks] (1) Determine the rate constant value. [2 marks] (iii) Predict the reaction rate for No. 4. [2 marks] (iv) Given the . is 1.5x 10³ mol-dm³, estimate the half-life of A. [3 marks] (b) Methane is a by-product of industrial processes in food production. Reaction with hydroxyl radical, OH, is the main path by which CH is removed from the lower atmosphere.
