Chemical Kinetics Ques 18
18. For a reaction between $A$ and $B$ the order with respect to $A$ is 2 and the order with respect to $B$ is 3. The concentrations of both $A$ and $B$ are doubled, the rate will increase by a factor of:

Answer:
Correct Answer: 18.(d)
Solution:
(d) $Rate_1=k[A]^{2}[B]^{3}$
when concentrations of both $A$ and $B$ are doubled then
Rate $_2=k[2 A]^{2}[2 B]^{3}=32 k[A]^{2}[B]^{3}$
$\therefore$ Rate will increase by a factor of 32 .
