C. quadruples the rate
Further explanation
Given
The rate law :
R=k[A]²
Required
The rate
Solution
There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :
- 1. Concentration
- 2. Surface area
- 3. Temperature
- 4. Catalyst
- 5. Pressure
- 6. Stirring
The rate is proportional to the concentration.
If the concentration increased, the reaction rate will increase
The reaction is second-order overall(The exponent is 2)
The concentration of A is doubled, the reaction rate will increase :
r = k[A]² ⇒ r= k[2A]²⇒r=4k[A]²
The reaction rate will quadruple.
