Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A reaction in which reactants (R) are converted into products (P) follows second order kinetics. If concentration of R is increased by four times, what will be the increase in the rate of formation of P?
A
9 times
B
4 times
C
16 times
D
8 time
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
For a second order reaction, rate k[R]². If conc. of R is increased by four times, rate = k[4R]². Hence, the rate of formation of P increases by 16 times.
