Practice question
Question
A reaction’s rate increases by a factor of 8 when [A] is doubled and [B] is doubled. If the order with respect to B is 1, what is the order with respect to A?
Explanation
Given:
A reaction’s rate increases by a factor of 8 when [A] is doubled and [B] is doubled. If the order with respect to B is 1, what is the order with respect to A?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Rate = k[A]^n[B]^m, m = 1, 8 = 2^n × 2¹.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
8 = 2^{n+1, n + 1 = 3, n = 2 .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
