In summary, the reaction A+B -> Products is a second order reaction with respect to A and a first order reaction with respect to B. The reaction occurs at 298 K and when A=0.75 mol L^-1 and B=0.8 mol L^-1, the speed of consumption of A and B is 0.00347 mol L^-1 min^-1. After adding 200 ml of clean water to 100 ml of the mixture, the speed of consumption of A and B will not change as the concentrations of A and B remain the same. However, after adding 300 ml of clean water to 200 ml of the reaction, the speed of consumption of A and B will decrease as the concentrations of

The reaction A+B ->Products is of second order related to A ,and of first order related to B.The reaction occurs on 298 K.When A=0.75 mol L^-1 and B=0,8 mol l^-1 the speed of the consumption of A and B is 0.00347 mol l^-1 min ^-1.What will be the speed of consumption of A and B after these changes happen: in 100 ml of the mixture we pour 200 ml of clean water?And in 200 ml of the reaction we add 300 ml of clean water?

So the equation of the speed must look like : V=k*[A]^2*...how do I relate this to the changes//?

Your equation is OK. Use it. Frankly if there is a problem with this question it is that they are actually giving you more information than you need to solve it.
 

FAQ: Calculating Reaction Speed Changes: Second and First Order Kinetics at 298K

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances, while a compound is a substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio.

How do you calculate the molar mass of a compound?

To calculate the molar mass of a compound, you need to multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of atoms present in the compound, then add all of the masses together. This will give you the molar mass in grams per mole (g/mol).

What is the difference between an acid and a base?

An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, while a base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions or donates hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution. Acids have a pH less than 7, while bases have a pH greater than 7.

How do you balance a chemical equation?

To balance a chemical equation, you need to make sure that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side. This can be done by adjusting the coefficients in front of each element or compound.

What is the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions?

An exothermic reaction releases heat to the surroundings, while an endothermic reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings. Exothermic reactions have a negative change in enthalpy (ΔH), while endothermic reactions have a positive ΔH.
