Question

For a reaction that follows the general rate law, Rate = k[A][B]², what will happen to the rate of reaction if the concentration of B is increased by a factor of 5.00? The rate will.....

Choose correct answer below
a. decrease by a factor of 1/5.00.
b. increase by a factor of 25.00.
c. decrease by a factor of 1/25.0.
d. increase by a factor of 5.00.

Answer 1

The rate of reaction will increase by a factor of 25.00 if the concentration of B is increased by a factor of 5.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of reaction will increase by a factor of 25.00 if the concentration of B is increased by a factor of 5.00. According to the given rate law, Rate = k[A][B]², the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the square of the concentration of B. So, if the concentration of B is increased by a factor of 5.00, the rate of reaction will increase by a factor of (5.00)² = 25.00.
