The rate of a reaction between A and B follows the rate law Rate = k[A]2[B]. What conclusion can be drawn about the rate of experiment two compared to the rate of experiment one if they both occur at the same temperature? A) The rate of experiment two is 3 times greater than the rate of experiment one. B) The rate of experiment two is 6 times greater than the rate of experiment one. C) The rate of experiment two is 12 times greater than the rate of experiment one. D) The rate of experiment two is 18 times greater than the rate of experiment one.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
