BITSAT Chemistry Question (2024) — Solution

Question

In the chemical reaction A B, what is the order of the reaction? Given that, the rate of reaction doubles if the concentration of A is increased four times.

Options

  1. A. 2
  2. B. 1.5
  3. C. 0.5
  4. D. 1

Answer

C. 0.5

Step-by-step solution

We know, r_1=k[A]^ n ....(i) If conc. of A is increased four times rate of reaction on doubles. 2 r_1=k[4 A]^ n ....(ii) Divide Eq. (ii) by (i). 2 r_i r_1 = k(4 A)^n k(A)^n 2=(4)^ n 2 n =(2)^ 2 n n=0.5
