Consider the reaction Q + R → S + T and the rate law for the reaction:
Rate = k[Q]0[R]2
a. You run the reaction three times, each time starting with [R] = 2.0 M. For each run you change the starting concentration of [Q]: run 1, [Q] = 0.0 M; run 2, [Q] = 1.0 M, run 3, [Q] = 2.0 M. Rank the rate of the three reactions using each of these concentrations.
b. The way the rate law is written in this problem is not typical for expressions containing reactants that are zero order in the rate law. Write the rate law in the more typical fashion.
