Q.

Cyanohydrins can be made by reacting ketones with an acidified solution of sodium cyanide.
 (CH3)2C=O+H++CN(CH3)2C(OH)CN
In a series of experiments, the reaction was carried out with different concentrations of the three reagents, and the following relative initial rates were obtained. 

Experiment
number
[(CH3)2CO]  (moldm3)[H+] (moldm3)[CN]  (moldm3)

Relative initial rate

(moldm3sec1)

10.0200.0600.0601.00
20.0200.0500.0500.833
30.0200.0500.0601.00
40.0250.0500.0501.042

Order of the reaction when excess cyanide ion is taken is X and order of the reaction when excess of propanone taken is Y. What is the value of (X+Y)?
