Write the differential rate expression for the following reactions and determine their order of reaction:
$1. CHCl_3 + Cl_2 \rightarrow CCl_4 + HCl$
$2. CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH$

(N/A) For reaction $1$: $CHCl_3 + Cl_2 \rightarrow CCl_4 + HCl$
The experimental rate law is $Rate = k[CHCl_3][Cl_2]^{1/2}$.
The differential rate expression is: $-\frac{d[CHCl_3]}{dt} = -\frac{d[Cl_2]}{dt} = \frac{d[CCl_4]}{dt} = \frac{d[HCl]}{dt} = k[CHCl_3][Cl_2]^{1/2}$.
The order of reaction is $1 + 1/2 = 1.5$.
For reaction $2$: $CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH$
This is a pseudo-first-order reaction because water is in large excess.
The experimental rate law is $Rate = k'[CH_3COOC_2H_5]$.
The differential rate expression is: $-\frac{d[CH_3COOC_2H_5]}{dt} = k'[CH_3COOC_2H_5]$.
The order of reaction is $1$.

For a reaction $A \to B$,the rate of reaction quadrupled when the concentration of $A$ is doubled. The rate expression of the reaction is $r = K[A]^n$. The value of $n$ is

The rate equation for the reaction $2A + B \longrightarrow \text{products}$ is $\text{rate} = k[A][B]^2$. If $k$ at $T \, K$ is $5.0 \times 10^{-6} \, mol^{-2} \, L^2 \, s^{-1}$,the initial rate of the reaction,when $[A] = 0.05 \, mol \, L^{-1}$ and $[B] = 0.1 \, mol \, L^{-1}$ is:

Consider the following reaction $A + B \rightarrow C$.
The time taken for $A$ to become $1/4$ of its initial concentration is twice the time taken to become $1/2$ of the same. Also,when the change of concentration of $B$ is plotted against time,the resulting graph gives a straight line with a negative slope and a positive intercept on the concentration axis. The overall order of the reaction is . . . . .
