If the rate of reaction = [A]²[B], doubling the concentration of [A] will quadruple the rate of reaction. By doubling the concentration of [A] and the concentration of [B] the rate of reaction will increase 16 fold.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Doubling [A] quadruples the rate (since rate ∝ [A]^2), but doubling [B] only doubles the rate, so the overall increase is 8-fold, not 16-fold.
