Experiment $[A] / mol \, L^{-1}$ $[B] / mol \, L^{-1}$ Initial rate / $mol \, L^{-1} \, min^{-1}$
$I$ $0.1$ $0.1$ $2.0 \times 10^{-2}$
$II$ $-$ $0.2$ $4.0 \times 10^{-2}$
$III$ $0.4$ $0.4$ $-$
$IV$ $-$ $0.2$ $2.0 \times 10^{-2}$

(A) The given reaction is of the first order with respect to $A$ and of zero order with respect to $B$.
Therefore,the rate of the reaction is given by,
Rate $= k[A]^1[B]^0 = k[A]$
From experiment $I$:
$2.0 \times 10^{-2} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, min^{-1} = k(0.1 \, mol \, L^{-1})$
$\Rightarrow k = 0.2 \, min^{-1}$
From experiment $II$:
$4.0 \times 10^{-2} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, min^{-1} = 0.2 \, min^{-1} \times [A]$
$\Rightarrow [A] = 0.2 \, mol \, L^{-1}$
From experiment $III$:
Rate $= 0.2 \, min^{-1} \times 0.4 \, mol \, L^{-1} = 0.08 \, mol \, L^{-1} \, min^{-1}$
From experiment $IV$:
$2.0 \times 10^{-2} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, min^{-1} = 0.2 \, min^{-1} \times [A]$
$\Rightarrow [A] = 0.1 \, mol \, L^{-1}$

The rate of reaction $A + 2B \to 3C$ becomes $72$ times when the concentration of $A$ is tripled and the concentration of $B$ is doubled. The order of reaction with respect to $A$ and $B$ respectively is:

The units for the rate constant and the rate of reaction are same for a reaction. What will be the order of the reaction?

Why is molecularity applicable only for elementary reactions,while order is applicable for both elementary and complex reactions?

For a reaction $A + B \to$ product,it was found that the rate of reaction increases four times if the concentration of $A$ is doubled,but the rate of reaction remains unaffected if the concentration of $B$ is doubled. Hence,the rate law for the reaction is

The rate of reaction,$A + B \rightarrow \text{product}$,is $7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$ at $[A] = 0.4 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$ and $[B] = 0.1 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$. The reaction is first order in $A$ and second order in $B$. Calculate the rate constant.
