Consider a reaction a G+b H products. When concentration of both the reactants G and H is doubled, the rate increases by eight times. However, when concentration of G is doubled keeping the concentration of H fixed, the rate is doubled. The overall order of the reaction is
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
D. 3
Step-by-step solution
a G+b H Product Suppose order of reaction =n When concentration of both G and H is double than rate increase by eight times. aligned rate & =k( reactants )^n (2)^8 & =k(2)^n (2)^3 & =k(2)^n n & =3 aligned when concentration of G is doubled than concentration H is fixed, the rate is double. than rate [G]^1[H]^2
