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

Answer»

Solution :For the reaction, `XtoY`, as it follows SECOND order KINETICS, the rate LAW equation will be
Rate `=k[X]^(2)=ka^(2)""("if "[X]=a" mol L"^(-1))`
If concentration of X is increased three times, now, `[X]=3"a mol L"^(-1)`
`:."""Rate"=k(3" a")^(2)=9" ka"^(2)`
Thus, the rate of reaction will become 9 times. Hence, the rate of FORMATION of Y will increase 9 times.
