Q.

Rate law for a reaction between A and B is given by R=k[A]n[B]m

If concentration of A is doubled and concentration of B is halved from their initial value, the ratio of new rate of reaction to the initial rate of reaction (r2r1) is      [2025]

1 2(n-m)    
2 (n-m)    
3 (m+n)    
4 12m+n  

Ans.

(1)

r1=k[A]n[B]m

r2=k[2A]n[B2]m

r2r1=k[2A]n[B2]mk[A]n[B]m 

r2r1=2n-m
