Question
A reaction is second order with respect to a reactant. How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of the reactant is doubled?
Advertisements
Solution
Reactant → Product
Rate of reaction, R = k [A]2
If the concentration of the reactant is doubled, i.e.,
[A] = 2A,
Then the rate of the reaction would be R = k[2A]2
= k 4 A2
= 4 kA2
Change in rate of reaction = `"rate of reaction when concentration is doubled"/"rate of reaction originally"`
= `(4 kA^2)/(kA^2)`
= 4 : 1
When the concentration is doubled, the reaction rate increases by a factor of 4.
