Data was collected to determine the rate law for the reaction of A2(g) + B(g) --> A2B(g) The table shows the data collected. Based on the data in the table which of the following statements is correct? a) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2]2, tripling the concentration of A2 will cause a 9-fold increase in the rate of the reaction.    b) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2]2[B], tripling the concentration of A2 while keeping the concentration of B constant will triple the rate of the reaction.    c) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2][B]2, doubling the concentration of B while keeping the concentration of A2 constant will double the rate of the reaction.    d) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2][B], doubling the concentrations of A2 and B will quadruple the rate of the reaction.

Question

Data was collected to determine the rate law for the reaction of

A2(g) + B(g) --> A2B(g)

The table shows the data collected. Based on the data in the table which of the following statements is correct?

a) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2]2, tripling the concentration of A2 will cause a 9-fold increase in the rate of the reaction. 
 
b) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2]2[B], tripling the concentration of A2 while keeping the concentration of B constant will triple the rate of the reaction. 
 
c) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2][B]2, doubling the concentration of B while keeping the concentration of A2 constant will double the rate of the reaction. 
 
d) Since the rate law can be expressed as rate =k[A2][B], doubling the concentrations of A2 and B will quadruple the rate of the reaction.
