A certain reaction is first order with respect to reactant A and second order with respect to reactant B. If the concentration of A is doubled and that of B is tripled, the rate of reaction will increase by a factor of
Q1. A certain reaction is first order with respect to reactant A and second order with respect to reactant B. If the concentration of A is doubled and that of B is tripled, the rate of reaction will increase by a factor of
Answer: 18
Explanation: New rate = k(2[A])(3[B])^2 = k(2)(9)[A][B]^2 = 18k[A][B]^2, so it increases by a factor of 18.
