Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer - the correct answer is -The rate will increase by a factor eight.

solution- 

order of a reaction - It is the summation of the power of the concentration of each reactant in the rate equation.

  • Except zero order reaction in all other reaction , the reaction rate depends upon the concentration of the reactant species.
  • The rate equation is given in the question i.e. -

    Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

  • Here if both the concentration of A & B increases by factor 2. then the concentrations will be 2A & 2B respectively.
