The rate data from a chemical reaction shows that doubling the concentration of A with the concentration of B remaining constant causes the rate to increase by a factor of four.What is the reaction order for [A]?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If doubling the concentration of A leads to the rate increasing by a factor of four while B remains constant, then the rate must depend on the concentration of A to the power of 2. This can be expressed as a second-order reaction with respect to A. Therefore, the answer is (D) 2.
