The rate of the chemical reaction A → B doubles as the concentration of A i.e.., CA is doubled. If rate of reaction is proportional to CA n, then what is the value of n for this reaction ?

Correct answer: C. 1

  • A. 0
  • B. 0.5
  • C. 1
  • D. 2

Explanation

For r proportional to C_A^n, doubling concentration gives 2^n = 2. Hence n = 1, so the reaction is first order in A.
