The conversion of molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics.If concentration of X is increased to three times how will it affect the rate of formation of Y?

Answer»

Solution :Given reaction X `to` Y
Order of reaction =2
`therefore Rate r_(1)=-K[x]^(2)`
Now,the CONCENTRATION of X increase to THREE time then new concentration is =3X mol `L^(-1)`
`therefore New rate r_(2)=k[3X]^(2)=9K [x]^(2)`
`therefore (r_(2))/(r_(1))=(9k[X]^(2))/(k[X]^(2))=9`
So ,new rate is nine times.
`therefore` so,it will effect nine times in the rate of formation of Y.
