Question
The conversion of molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If concentration of X is increased to three times how will it affect the rate of formation of Y?

Solution
The reaction \[\ce{X -> Y}\] follows second-order kinetics.
Therefore, the rate equation for this reaction will be:
Rate = k[X]2
If the concentration of X is increased to three times, then [r'] = k[3X]2
`(r')/r = (k [3 X]^2)/(k [X]^2)`
= 9
Hence, the rate of formation will increase by 9 times.
