Show that the rate of first order reaction is doubled when concentration of the reactant is doubled.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Consider a `I^(st)` order reaction `R to` Product
Rate = `r_(1)=K(R)^(1)`
On doubling the concentration of reactant
and new rate is `" "R_(1)=K[R]^(1)" "to (1)`
`" "R_(2)=K[2R]^(1)=2K[R]^(1)" "to(2)`
`" "(eq(1))/(eq(2))`
`" "R_(2)=2R_(1)`
