Rate law for the reaction, `A + 2B to C` is found to be
Rate `= k [A] [B]`
Concentration of reactant 'B' is doubled keeping the concentration of 'A' constant, the value of rate constant will be _______

A

the same

B

doubled

C

quadrupled

D

halved

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Rate law can be written as
Rate = K [A] [B]
Rate of reaction w.r.t B is of first order.
`" "R_(1) = k [A][B]`
when concentration of reactant 'B' is doubled then rate `(R_(2))`
`" "R_(2) = k[A][B]`
`" R_(2) = 2k [A][B]`
`" "R_(2) = 2R_(1)`
Therefore, as concentration of B is doubled keeping the concentration of A constant rate of reaction doubles.

The rate equation for the reaction 2A+B to C is found to be : rate = k[A] [B] The correct statement in relation to this reaction is that the

For a hypothetical reaction, A + B + C to Products, the rate law is determined to be rate = k[A][B]^(2) . If the concentration of B is doubled without changing the concentration of A and C, the reaction rate:

For a first order reaction, the rate of the reaction doubled as the concentration of the reactant is doubled.

In the reaction 2A+B to A_2B , Rate = k[A]^2 [ B ] if the concentration of A is doubled and that of B is halved, then the rate of reaction will:

The rate constant of any reaction is proportional to the concentration of the reactants.
