The rate of the reaction, X → Y, quadruples when the concentration of 'X' is doubled. The rate expression for the reaction is, r = K Cx n, the value of 'n' in this case will be_______________________?

Correct answer: C. 2

  • A. 0
  • B. 1
  • C. 2
  • D. 3

Explanation

Doubling concentration changes the rate by 2^n. Since the rate becomes four times larger, 2^n = 4 = 2^2, giving a second-order dependence on X.
