If doubling the concentration of a reactant 'A' increases the rate 4 times and tripling the concentration of 'A' increases the rate 9 times, the rate is proportional to
Options
- AConcentration of ‘A’
- BSquare of concentration of ‘A’
- CUnder root of the concentration of ‘A’
- DCube of concentration of ‘A’
Correct answer
B. Square of concentration of ‘A’
Step-by-step solution
Based on rate law, rate of reaction depends on concentration of reactant with power of concentration term same as order of reactant. R a t e = A n B m A n = 2 2 = 4 , B m = 3 2 = 9
