Problem

Initial-rate measurements for the reaction

A + B + C \rightarrow \text{products}

yielded the following data. Trial

[A]_0

(M)

[B]_0

(M)

[C]_0

(M) Initial rate (

\text{M}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}

) 1 0.10 0.10 0.10

2.0 \times 10^{-4}

2 0.20 0.10 0.10

4.0 \times 10^{-4}

3 0.10 0.20 0.10

2.0 \times 10^{-4}

4 0.10 0.10 0.20

8.0 \times 10^{-4}

Determine the order of the reaction with respect to each reactant (

m

for A,

n

for B,

p

for C) and write the resulting rate law.
