Q.

For a certain reaction, the rate = k[A]2[B], when the initial concentration of A is tripled keeping concentration of B constant, the initial rate would         [2023]

1 increase by a factor of nine  
2 increase by a factor of three  
3 decrease by a factor of nine  
4 increase by a factor of six.  

Ans.

(1)

r1=k[A]2[B]

Keeping conc. of B constant and tripling conc. of A, new rate would be

r2=k[3A]2[B]=9k[A]2[B]

  r2=9×r1
