    The reaction\[2A+B+C\xrightarrow{{}}D+E\]is found to be first order in A, second in B and zero order in C. What is the effect on the rate of increasing concentration of A, B and C two times?

    A) 72 times       

    B)        8 times

    C) 24 times       

    D)        36 times

    E) none of the these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The rate law for the reaction is as: \[r=\frac{dx}{dt}=k(A){{(B)}^{2}}{{(C)}^{0}}=k(A){{(B)}^{2}}\] On increasing the concentrations of A, B and C two times. \[r=\frac{dx}{dt}=k(2A){{(2B)}^{2}}{{(2C)}^{0}}\] \[=8k(A){{(B)}^{2}}\] Thus, the rate increases eight times.
