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.
