Conisder a gaseous reaction, the rate of which is given by `k[A][B]`. The volume of the reaction vessel containing these gases is suddenly reduced to `1//4th` of the initial volume. The rate of the reaction as compared with original rate is

Options

A. `1//16` times
B. `16` times
C. `1//8` times
D. `8` times

Answer

B

Explanation

`r_(1) = k[A][B]`
`(V = (1)/(4), "so concetration" = 4 "times")`
`:. r_(2) = k[A][4B]`
`r_(2) = 16r_(1)`
