Chapter 13, Problem 13.33QP

You perform some experiments for the reaction $\text{A}\stackrel{}{\to }\text{B }+\text{ C}$ and determine the rate law has the form

$\text{Rate}=k{[\text{A}]}^x$

Calculate the value of exponent x for each of the following.

1. a [A] is tripled and you observe no rate change.
2. b [A] is doubled and the rate doubles.
3. c [A] is tripled and the rate goes up by a factor of 27.
