Question

The data in the table below were collected for the gas phase reaction shown

BF3(g) + NH3(g) > F3BNH3(g)

Experiment [BF3] (M) [NH3] (M) Initial Rate (m/s)

1 0.500 0.250 0.4262

2 0.500 0.125 0.2131

3 0.400 0.200 0.2728

4 0.700 0.200 0.4772

5 0.350 0.200 0.2384

1) Calculate the reaction orders for each reactant. 2) State the overall reaction order. 3) Determine the rate law for this reaction (including k).
