Q.

Given below are two statements:                                                                      [2024]

Statement I: The rate law for the reaction A+BC is rate (r)=k[A]2[B]. When the concentration of both A and B is doubled, the reaction rate is increased "x" times.

Statement II:

The figure is showing "the variation in concentration against time plot" for a "y" order reaction.

The value of x + y is _______.


Ans.

(8)

Statement I: r1=k[A1]2[B1]

r2=k[A2]2[B2]=k[2A1]2[2B1]

r2r1=k[2A1]2[2B1]k[A1]2[B1]=8=x

Statement II: For zero order reaction: [R]=[R]0-kt,  y=0 

x+y=8
