For the chemical reaction P → Q, it is found that the rate of reaction doubles as the concentration of 'P' is doubled. If the reaction rate is proportional to Cp n, then what is the value of 'n' for this chemical reaction ?

Correct answer: B. 1

  • A. 0
  • B. 1
  • C. 2
  • D. 3

Explanation

Doubling concentration changes the rate by 2^n. Because the rate doubles, 2^n = 2, giving n = 1 and hence a first-order dependence on P.
