A reaction was found to be third order in A. Increasing the concentration of A by a factor of 3 will cause the reaction rate to .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law for a third order reaction is Rate = k[A]^3. If we increase the concentration of A by a factor of 3, the new concentration will be 3[A], and the new rate will be k(3[A])^3 = 27k[A]^3, which is a factor of 27 greater than the original rate. Therefore, the reaction rate will increase by a factor of 27.
