If a reaction is secondorder with respect to a reactant when

If a reaction is second-order with respect to a reactant, when the concentration of the reactant is increased by a factor of 2, the reaction rate will

Select one:

a. quadruple

b. decrease by a factor of 12

c. remain constantremain constant

d. decrease by a factor of 14

e. double

Solution

Answer:-

Let rate = k[A]²

Now again,

rate = k[2A]²

= 4k[A]²

So, a. quadruple it is correct answer.
