In the presence of palladium on carbon (Pd/C), hydrogenation of an unsymmetrical alkyne leads to the formation of the cis-alkene via a syn-addition mechanism.
For hydrogen atom, $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are the wavelengths corresponding to the transitions 1 and 2 respectively as shown in figure The ratio of $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ is $\frac{x}{32}$ The value of $x$ is
For the reaction:
\[ 2A + B \rightarrow 2C + D \]
The following kinetic data were obtained for three different experiments performed at the same temperature:
\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Experiment} & [A]_0 \, (\text{M}) & [B]_0 \, (\text{M}) & \text{Initial rate} \, (\text{M/s}) \\ \hline I & 0.10 & 0.10 & 0.10 \\ II & 0.20 & 0.10 & 0.40 \\ III & 0.20 & 0.20 & 0.40 \\ \hline \end{array} \]
The total order and order in [B] for the reaction are respectively:
