    In the reaction \[2A+B\xrightarrow{{}}{{A}_{2}}B,\] if the  concentration of A is doubled and that of B is halved, then the rate of reaction will

    A)  increase by 4 times

    B)  decrease by 2 times

    C)  increase by 2 times

    D)  remains the same

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     For the reaction: \[2A+B\xrightarrow{{}}{{A}_{2}}B\] \[r=k{{[A]}^{2}}[B]\] If concentration of A is doubled and that of B is halved, then \[r'={{[2A]}^{2}}\left[ \frac{B}{2} \right]\] \[2k{{[A]}^{2}}[B]\] \[r'=2r\] Hence, if the concentration of [A] is doubled and [B] is halved, then rate of reaction increases by 2 times.
