For a reaction R `to` P, the rate becomes 2 times when the concentration of the reactant P is increased 4 times. What is the order of reaction ?

Explanation

To determine the order of the reaction \( R \to P \) based on the given information, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the relationship between rate and concentration
The rate of a reaction can be expressed as:
\[ \text{Rate} = k [R]^n \]
where \( k \) is the rate constant, \( [R] \) is the concentration of the reactant, and \( n \) is the order of the reaction.
