The rate equation of a gaseous reaction is given by r=k[A][B] . If the volume of the reaction vessel is suddenly reduced to 1 / 2 of the initial volume, the reaction rate relating to the original rate will be

Step-by-step solution

The concentration of gaseous 1 volume If volume of vessel is reduced of initial volume to half then concentration increases to two-times. array llrl & & [A^ ]=2[A] & & [B^ ]=2[B] Initially, & r=k[A][B] array After reduction of volume, r₁=k₂ [A^ ] 2 [B^ ] aligned &r₁=4 k [A^ ] [B^ ] (k₂=k ) &r₁=4 r aligned Rate increases to 4 times of original rate.
