The rate of a gaseous reaction is given by K [ A ] [ B ] . If the volume of the reaction vessel is reduced to 1 4 of the initial volume, the reaction rate relative to the original rate is -
Options
- A1 16 times
- B1 8 times
- C8 times
- D16 times
Correct answer
D. 16 times
Step-by-step solution
Rate, r = K [ A ] [ B ] According to the given data, the volume of the reaction vessel is reduced to 1 4 t h. Hence, it can be written as r 1 = K [ 4 A ] [ 4 B ] = 16 K [ A ] [ B ] = 16 r ∴ r 1 = 16 r
