    In a reaction, \[\text{A}\,\text{+}\,\text{B}\to \] Product, rate is doubled when the concentration of B is doubled, and rate increases by a factor of 8 when the concentrations of both the reactants (A and B) are doubled. Rate law for the reaction can be written as

    A) \[\text{Rate}\,\text{=}\,\text{k}\,\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ A }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\,{{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ B }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}^{\text{2}}}\] 

    B) \[\text{Rate}\,\text{=}\,\text{k}\,{{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ A }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}^{\text{2}}}\,{{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ B }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}^{\text{2}}}\]

    C)                        \[\text{Rate}\,\text{=}\,\text{k}\,\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ A }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\,\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ B }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the order of reaction with respect to A and B is x and y respectively. So, the rate law can be given as \[R=k{{[A]}^{x}}{{[B]}^{y}}\]                         ...(i) When the concentration of only B is doubled, the rate is doubled, so \[{{R}_{1}}=k{{[A]}^{x}}{{[2B]}^{y}}=2R\]                                              ...(ii) If concentrations of both the reactants A and B are doubled, the rate increases by a factor of 8, so \[R''=k{{[2A]}^{x}}{{[2B]}^{y}}=8R\]                        ... (iii) \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[k{{2}^{x}}{{2}^{y}}{{[A]}^{x}}{{[B]}^{y}}=8R\]  ...(iv) From Eq. (i) and (ii), we get \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{2R}{R}=\frac{{{[A]}^{x}}{{[2B]}^{y}}}{{{[A]}^{x}}{{[B]}^{y}}}\]                 \[2={{2}^{y}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[y=1\] From Eq. (i) and (iv), we get \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{8R}{R}=\frac{{{2}^{x}}{{2}^{y}}{{[A]}^{x}}{{[B]}^{y}}}{{{[A]}^{x}}{{[B]}^{y}}}\]or\[8={{2}^{x}}{{2}^{y}}\] Substitution of the value of y gives, \[8={{2}^{x}}\,{{2}^{y}}\] \[4={{2}^{x}}\] \[{{(2)}^{2}}={{(2)}^{x}}\] \[\therefore \]                         \[x=2\] Substitution of the value of x and y in Eq. (i) gives, \[R=k{{[A]}^{2}}[B]\]
