Question
The reaction A + 2B → products was found to follow the rate law: rate = k[A][B]. Predict by what factor the rate of reaction will increase when the concentration of A is doubled, the concentration of B is tripled, and the temperature remains constant.
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Initial rate = k[A][B]. New rate = k[2A][3B] = k × 2 × 3 × [A][B] = 6 × k[A][B]. Factor = 6.
Hint
Factor for A is 2, for B is 3; overall factor = 2 × 3 = 6.
