Step 3: Calculate the value of kfk_f.
The rate law is Rate=−kfCAmCBnRate = -k_f C_A^m C_B^n.
From the previous steps, we found m=1m=1 and n=12n=\frac{1}{2}.
So, the rate law is Rate=−kfCA1CB1/2Rate = -k_f C_A^1 C_B^{1/2}.
We can use the data from any experiment to find kfk_f. Let's use Experiment 1:
CA=1 mol/LC_A = 1 \text{ mol/L}
CB=1 mol/LC_B = 1 \text{ mol/L}
Rate=−2.45×10−4 mol/L.sRate = -2.45 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L.s}

Substitute these values into the rate law:

−2.45×10−4 mol/L.s=−kf(1 mol/L)1(1 mol/L)1/2-2.45 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L.s} = -k_f (1 \text{ mol/L})^1 (1 \text{ mol/L})^{1/2} −2.45×10−4 mol/L.s=−kf(1 mol/L)(1 mol/L)1/2-2.45 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L.s} = -k_f (1 \text{ mol/L}) (1 \text{ mol/L})^{1/2} −2.45×10−4 mol/L.s=−kf(1 mol/L)3/2-2.45 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L.s} = -k_f (1 \text{ mol/L})^{3/2}

Now, solve for kfk_f:

kf=2.45×10−4 mol/L.s(1 mol/L)3/2k_f = \frac{2.45 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L.s}}{(1 \text{ mol/L})^{3/2}} kf=2.45×10−4 mol−1/2 L1/2 s−1k_f = 2.45 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol}^{-1/2} \text{ L}^{1/2} \text{ s}^{-1}

The value of kfk_f is 2.45×10−4 mol−1/2 L1/2 s−1\boxed{2.45 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol}^{-1/2} \text{ L}^{1/2} \text{ s}^{-1}}.
