Question
X(g) + 2 Y(g) → XY_2(g)
In order to determine the order of the reaction represented above, the initial rate of formation of XY_2 is measured using different initial values of [X] and [Y]. The results of the experiment are shown in the table below.
[VISUAL]
In trial 2 which of the reactants would be consumed more rapidly, and why?
A.
X, because it has a higher molar concentration.
B.
X, because the reaction is second order with respect to X.
C.
Y, because the reaction is second order with respect to Y.
D.✓ Correct
Y, because the rate of disappearance will be double that of X.
