Use the data in the table to calculate the initial rate for experiment 4.
Use the results of experiment 1 to calculate the rate constant, $k$, for this reaction. Include the units of $k$.
By considering the rate equation, explain why the rate decreases with decreasing temperature.
The reaction between X and Y was investigated. $2\text{X} + \text{Y} \rightarrow \text{Z}$ The following sequence of steps is a suggested mechanism for the reaction. step 1: $2\text{X} \rightarrow \text{V}$ step 2: $\text{V} + \text{Y} \rightarrow \text{Z}$ The general form of the rate equation for this reaction is shown below. $\text{rate} = k[\text{X}]^m[\text{Y}]^n$ Step 1 is the slower step in the mechanism. Deduce the values of $m$ and $n$ in the rate equation.
