What are the reaction orders for A, B, and C?
For the reaction A+B+C→D+E, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. The following data were collected for four trials: Trial A (M) B (M) C (M) Initial Rate (M/s)
1 0.50 0.50 0.50 1.5×10−4
2 0.50 0.50 1.50 4.5×10−4
3 1.00 0.50 0.50 6.0×10−4
4 1.00 1.00 0.50 6.0×10−4

Order of reaction for A and B is 2 and for C is 1
Explanation:
From step 2 it is clear that when concentration of C gets tripled the reaction rate also gets tripled so the order of reaction for C is 1
From Step 3 and 4 we can see that when the concentration of A and B gets doubled the reaction rate gets Quadrupled so the order of reaction with respect to A and B is 2
