Using the method of initial rates for the reaction A → B,if the initial concentration of A is doubled and the rate of reaction quadruples,what is the order of reaction with respect to A?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is second order with respect to A because when the concentration of A is doubled, the rate of the reaction quadruples (increases by a factor of 4), which is consistent with a second-order reaction ($rate \propto [A]^2$).
