Method of Initial Rates

One of the first steps in studying the kinetics of a chemical reaction is to determine the rate law for the reaction. One method for making this determination is to experimentally measure how the concentration of a reactant or product varies with time and then make characteristic kinetics plots. Another strategy for determining the rate law is to use the method of initial rates.

Consider the following set of data:

Trial Rate
(mole L-1 sec-1)
Initial Concentration
of A (mole L-1)
Initial Concentration
of B (mole L-1)
1 2.73 0.100 0.100
2 6.14 0.150 0.100
3 2.71 0.100 0.200
