By what factor does the rate change in each of the following cases (assuming constant temperature)?
Factor (enter as decimal if <1)
(a) A reaction is first order in reactant A, and [A] is doubled.
(b) A reaction is second order in reactant B, and [B] is halved.
(c) A reaction is second order in reactant C, and [C] is tripled.

a) The rate of reaction increases by factor of 2.

b) The rate of reaction increases by factor of 0.25.

c) The rate of reaction increases by factor of 9.

Explanation:

a)

Rate of the reaction ;

if [A] is doubled, then rate of the reaction = R'

The rate of reaction increases by factor of 2.

b)

Rate of the reaction ;

if [B] is halved, then rate of the reaction = R'

The rate of reaction increases by factor of 0.25.

c)

Rate of the reaction ;

if [C] is tripled, then rate of the reaction = R'

The rate of reaction increases by factor of 9.

r just means there's a number of carbon in teh chain. for example rcooh means that after x number of carbon, the chain ends with cooh.
