The following table gives kinetics data for a reaction with the overall equation: 3 A(aq) + B(aq) -> 2 C(aq) + 5D(aq).

Experiment [A] [B] Initial Rate (mol L-1 s-1)

1 8.00 x 10-2M 7.25 x 10-2 0.00870
2 2.50 x 10-1 M 2.50 x 10-1 M 0.00850
3 2.50 x 10-1 M 3.22 x 10-1 M 0.00850
4 3.50 x 10-1 M 3.22 x 10-1 M 0.0167

(C) Suppose you carry out a kinetics experiment on this reaction with initial concentrations [A] = 10.0 M and [B] = 0.025 M, and you follow [B] vs. time. Describe the plot you would get. What is the value of the observed rate constant?

(D) A second kinetics experiment is carried out with initial concentrations [A] = 0.025 M and [B] = 10.0 M. Sketch a plot below for some expression of [A] vs. time that would be linear. What is the (numerical) value of the slope?
