The rate of a gaseous reaction is given by the expression k[A][B] . If the volume of the reaction vessel is suddenly reduced to 1 4 th of the initial volume, the reaction rate relating to original rate will be
Options
- A1 10
- B1 8
- C8
- D16
Correct answer
D. 16
Step-by-step solution
Rate =k[A][B] ; when volume is reduced to 1 4 th, concentration will become 4 times: Therefore, new rate =k[4 A][4 B]=16 k[A][B]=16 times
