CAPE Chemistry Unit 1 · 2021 · Paper 2 · Question 2(a)(ii)

The initial rate of reaction between Substance Q and Substance R was measured in a series of experiments, giving rate = k[Q][R]².

Complete Table 1 by inserting the missing initial [Q], initial [R] and initial rate for the reaction between Q and R.
