When a small piece of platinum is added to a mixture of ethene and hydrogen, the followingreaction occurs:

Doubling the concentration of hydrogen has no effect on the reaction rate. Doubling the concentration of ethene also has no effect.

(a) What is the kinetic order of this reaction with respect to ethene? With respect to hydrogen?What is the overall order?

(b) Write the unusual rate equation for this reaction.

(c) Explain this strange rate equation, and suggest what one might do to accelerate the reaction.
