A + 2B → C, the rate equation for this reaction is given as Rate = K[A][B]. If the concentration of A is kept the same but that of B is doubled what will happen to the rate itself ?
(1) halved
(2) the same
(3) doubled
(4) quadrupled
Correct option (3) doubled
Explanation:
Rate is first order with respect to B. So it doubles on doubling concentration of B, while keeping concentration of A as same.
