The rate of a reaction doubles when the initial concentration of the reactant is made four fold. If the initial concentration is made 400 fold, then the rate will become
Options
- A400 times
- B200 times
- C40 times
- D20 times
Correct answer
D. 20 times
Step-by-step solution
R=k[A]^x ....(i) 2 R=k[4 A]^x ....(ii) Divide Eq. (ii) by (i) aligned 2 & =[4]^x R & =k[A]^ 1 / 2 x & = 1 2 =0.5 R & =k(400 A)^ 1 / 2 Rate & =20 k[A]^ 1 / 2 aligned Rate becomes 20 times.
