The rate of a gaseous reaction is given by the expresison `k[A]^(2)[B]^(3)`. The volume of the reaction vessel is suddenly reduced to one-half of the initial volume. The reaction rate relative to the original rate will be

Options

A. `1//24`
B. `1//32`
C. 32
D. 24

Explanation

Rate `=K[A]^(2)[B]^(3)`
When volume is halved, the concentration will become double.
`:. "Rate"=K[2A]^(2)[2B]^(3)`
`=32 k=K[A]^(2)[B]^(3)=32xx` Original rate from (i)
