  1. Question 1

    Q1. The rate of reaction A -> B is given by rate = k[A]^n. If the rate is doubled when [A] is doubled, the order n is

    • A) 1
    • B) 2
    • C) 0
    • D) 3

    Answer: 1

    Explanation: For rate = k[A]^n, if doubling [A] doubles the rate, then n = 1, since 2 = 2^n implies n = 1.
