For a chemical reaction rate law is, rate = K A 2 B . If [A] is doubled at constant B , the rate of reaction.
Options
- AIncrease by a factor of 8
- BIncrease by a factor of 4
- CIncreases by a factor of 3
- DIncreases by a factor of 2
Correct answer
B. Increase by a factor of 4
Step-by-step solution
Given, Initial rate = k A 2 B If A 1 = 2 A Rate k = 2 A 2 B = 4 k A 2 B Thus, if the concentration of A , A is doubled and that of B is constant, then initial rate increases by a factor of 4 .
