Question

An irreversible reaction A + B → C is carried out under various conditions, but always with [B]0 >> [A]0. Plots of 1/[A] as a function of time for each reaction are linear, and the slopes of these plots do not depend on the initial concentration of B. What is the rate law for the reaction under these conditions?

A.

Rate = k[A]

B.

Rate = k[A][B]

C.

Rate = k[A]2

✓ Correct
D.

Rate = k[A]2[B]
