Question

The reaction A + 2B + C --> Products has a rare law of Rate = k[A]^2[B]. By what factor would the reaction rate change if [B] is tripled?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The order of a chemical reaction can be determined by measuring the rate of reaction at different initial concentrations of the reactants.

If we doubled the initial concentration of the reactants and the rate of reaction remains constant, then the order of the reaction with respect to that reactant is one (first-order reaction).
If we doubled the initial concentration of the reactants and the rate of reaction is also doubled the order of the reaction with respect to that reactant is one (first-order reaction).
If we doubled the initial concentration of the reactants and the rate of reaction is increased by four times the order of the reaction with respect to that reactant is two (second-order reaction).
