$$A + 2B \to C,$$ the rate equation for this reaction is given as Rate $$ = K\left[ A \right]\left[ B \right].$$ If the concentration of $$A$$ is kept the same but that of $$B$$ is doubled what will happen to the rate itself ?
A.
halved
B.
the same
C.
doubled
D.
quadrupled
Answer :
doubled
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Rate}} = k\left[ A \right]\left[ B \right] = R \cr
& R' = k\left[ A \right]\left[ {2B} \right] \cr
& \frac{R}{{R'}} = \frac{{k\left[ A \right]\left[ B \right]}}{{k\left[ A \right]\left[ {2B} \right]}} \cr
& = \frac{{k\left[ A \right]\left[ B \right]}}{{2k\left[ A \right]\left[ B \right]}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 2R = R'\,\,i.e.,\,{\text{rate become doubles}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
