Question

What is the rate law if the rate is directly proportional to \([B]^2\) and independent of \([A]\)?

• A. \( \text{Rate} = k[B]^2 \)
• B. \( \text{Rate} = k[A][B]^2 \)
• C. \( \text{Rate} = k[A]^2[B] \)
• D. \( \text{Rate} = k[A]^2[B]^2 \)

Hint:

The rate law expresses the dependence of the reaction rate on the concentrations of reactants. In this case, it is only dependent on \(B\).
