Question
For a reaction A + B ⟶ P, the rate is given by
Rate = k [A] [B]2
How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of B is doubled?

Solution 1
For a reaction, A + B⟶ P
Rate1 = k[A][B]2
If the concentration of B is doubled
Rate2 = k[A][2B]2
Rate1 = k[A][B]2
Rate2 = k[A][2B]2
Rate1 = B2
Rate2 4B2
Rate2 = 4 Rate1
The rate of reaction will be four times the initial rate.
Solution 2
A + B → P
Rate = k[A] [B]2
Since the given reaction has order two with respect to reactant B, thus, if the concentration of B is doubled in the given reaction, then the rate of reaction will become four times.
