Initial rates r0 for the reaction 2A + C → products at 300 K at various sets of initial concentrations are as follows (where c° ≡ 1 mol/dm3):

[A]0/c°

0.20

0.60

0.20

0.60

[B]0/c°

0.30

0.30

0.90

0.30

[C]0/c°

0.15

0.15

0.15

0.45

100r0/(c°/s)

0.60

1.81

5.38

1.81

(a) Assume that the rate law has the form (16.5) and determine the partial orders. (b) Evaluate the rate constant. (c) Explain why determining a rate law and rate constant using only initial-rate data can sometimes give erroneous results. (Hint: See Sec. 16.1.)
