Question

Consider a reaction A + B → C with corresponding rate law rate = k[A]n [B]m

If n = 2, m = 1:

(d) How will the initial reaction rate change if the initial concentration of A is doubled, without changing the initial concentration of B?

(e) How will the initial reaction rate change if the initial concentrations of both A and B are doubled?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: Rate law of the reaction is given by,

=> Rate = K [A]n [B]m = K [A]2 [B]1
