    The rate law for a reaction between the  substances A and B is given by rate \[=k{{[A]}^{n}}{{[B]}^{m}}.\] On doubling the concentration of A and halving the concentration of B, the ratio of the new rate to the earlier rate of the reaction will be as

    A) \[\frac{1}{{{2}^{m+n}}}\]

    B)  \[(m+n)\]

    C)  \[(n-m)\]

    D)  \[{{2}^{(n-m)}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Rate becomes \[{{x}^{y}}\]times if concentration is made \[x\]times of a reactant giving \[{{y}^{th}}\]order reaction. \[Rate=k{{[A]}^{n}}{{[B]}^{m}}\] Concentration of A is doubled, hence \[x=2,\] \[y=n\]and rate becomes\[={{2}^{n}}\] times Concentration of B is halved, hence\[x=\frac{1}{2}\] and \[y=m\]and rate becomes \[={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{m}}\]times Net rate becomes \[={{(2)}^{n}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{m}}\text{times}\] \[={{(2)}^{n-m}}\,\text{times}\]
