For part a, we're asked to write the rate law of the reaction. I understand the general way to determine the reaction orders, but how would we know to compare experiments 2 and 3 for reactant B? Why couldn't we compare experiments 1 and 3 instead?

[Haley Dveirin 1E]

I don't think it matters which one because B is 1.25 in experiment 1 and 2

[Hailey Kim 4G]

You can compare experiments 1 and 3 since the concentration of B is changing and the concentration of C is constant.

[RRahimtoola1I]

You just need two experiments that have the same concentration for both experiments so you can cancel them to find the order of the one with different concentrations.

[Myka G 1l]

You use whatever two reactions will allow you to cancel the value of the other reactant, allowing you to find the order of the desired reactant.

[Tanmay Singhal 1H]

you need to cancel stuff out so need specific equations
