It was determined experimentally that the reaction rate doubled when the concentration of B was doubled in the following reaction: A + B → C
The reaction is ________ order in B.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction rate doubling when the concentration of B is doubled indicates that the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of B, i.e., rate = k[B]^1. Thus, the reaction is first order in B.
