The effect of changing the reactant concentration ratio on the initial reaction rate and reaction order of a chemical reaction involving two reactants with different stoichiometries can be understood by examining the rate law of the reaction.The rate law for a reaction involving two reactants A and B can be written as:Rate = k[A]^m[B]^nwhere k is the rate constant, [A] and [B] are the concentrations of reactants A and B, and m and n are the reaction orders with respect to A and B, respectively.1. Effect on the initial reaction rate:When the concentration ratio of the reactants is changed, the initial reaction rate will also change as it depends on the concentrations of the reactants. If the concentration of one reactant is increased while keeping the other constant, the initial reaction rate will generally increase. However, the extent of this increase depends on the reaction orders m and n and the stoichiometry of the reaction.For example, if the reaction order is 1 for both reactants m = n = 1 , then doubling the concentration of one reactant will double the initial reaction rate. If the reaction order is 2 for one reactant and 1 for the other m = 2, n = 1 or vice versa , then doubling the concentration of the reactant with order 2 will quadruple the initial reaction rate, while doubling the concentration of the reactant with order 1 will only double the initial reaction rate.2. Effect on reaction order:Changing the reactant concentration ratio does not affect the reaction order itself, as the reaction order is an inherent property of the reaction mechanism and is determined experimentally. The reaction orders m and n are constant for a given reaction and do not change with the concentration of the reactants.In summary, changing the reactant concentration ratio will affect the initial reaction rate but not the reaction order. The extent of the change in the initial reaction rate depends on the reaction orders and the stoichiometry of the reaction.
