    For a reaction of the type \[A+B\to \]products, it is observed that doubling the concentration of A causes the reaction rate to be four times as great, but doubling the amount of B does not affect the rate. The rate equation is

    A) \[Rate=k[A]\,[B]\]

    B)  \[Rate=\frac{k}{4}{{[A]}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[Rate=k{{[A]}^{2}}[B]\]

    D)  \[Rate=k{{[A]}^{2}}{{[B]}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[2A+B\xrightarrow{{}}Product\]                  ...(i)   Doubling the concentration of A cause the reaction. rate to be four time so order  of reaction is two. \[A+2B\xrightarrow{{}}Product\]                  ... (ii) Doubling the concentration of B does not effect the rate so, order of reaction is zero. So equation no. (i) \[4\times Rate\,\alpha {{[A]}^{2}}\]\[4\times Rate\,=k{{[A]}^{2}}\]or \[Rate\,=\frac{k{{[A]}^{2}}}{4}\] where, k = velocity constant
