AI Thread Summary
The reaction A+B -> Products is second order with respect to A and first order with respect to B, occurring at 298 K. Initially, the concentrations are A=0.75 mol L^-1 and B=0.8 mol L^-1, resulting in a consumption rate of 0.00347 mol L^-1 min^-1. When 200 ml of clean water is added to 100 ml of the mixture, the concentrations of A and B will decrease, affecting the reaction rate. Similarly, adding 300 ml of clean water to 200 ml of the reaction will also dilute the reactants, further impacting the speed of consumption. The equation V=k*[A]^2*[B] is valid for calculating the new rates after dilution.

The reaction A+B ->Products is of second order related to A ,and of first order related to B.The reaction occurs on 298 K.When A=0.75 mol L^-1 and B=0,8 mol l^-1 the speed of the consumption of A and B is 0.00347 mol l^-1 min ^-1.What will be the speed of consumption of A and B after these changes happen: in 100 ml of the mixture we pour 200 ml of clean water?And in 200 ml of the reaction we add 300 ml of clean water?

So the equation of the speed must look like : V=k*[A]^2*...how do I relate this to the changes//?

Your equation is OK. Use it. Frankly if there is a problem with this question it is that they are actually giving you more information than you need to solve it.
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
