    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 a [AIPMT (S) 2012]

    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 :

    [d] 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,                              \[R=k{{[A]}^{2}}[B]\]
