Answer»

The
following results
have been obtained during the kinetic studies of the reaction:

2A
+ B → C + D

Experiment	A/ mol L⁻¹	B/ mol L⁻¹	Initial rate of formation of D/mol L⁻¹ min⁻¹
I	0.1	0.1	6.0 × 10⁻³
II	0.3	0.2	7.2 × 10⁻²
III	0.3	0.4	2.88 × 10⁻¹
IV	0.4	0.1	2.40 × 10⁻²

Determine
the rate law and the rate constant for the reaction.
