Question: 1 . Calculate the rate for each trial ( 1 - 6 ) using Equation ( 3 ) . 2 . Use the method of

1. Calculate the rate for each trial (1-6) using Equation (3).
2. Use the method of initial rates to find the order with respect to each reactant. For example, if we compare trial 1 and trial 2, we double the concentration of H2C2O4 while keeping the concentration of KMnO4 constant in the two trials. So the ratio of the rates (using Equation 2) are proportional to the concentrations of H2C2O4 only and we can find the order (y) with respect to H2C2O4. Similarly, we can solve for x by comparing trials 1 and 5.
3. Once you have found the rate law for the reaction you can then calculate the rate constant for each trial (1-6) by inserting the rate and the molar concentrations of each reactant in the rate law.
