Question

In a hypothetical reaction $2X+Y\to M+N$. If the concentration of $Y$ is kept constant but that of $X$ is tripled, the rate of reaction then will be:

• A. Increased by 3 times
• B. Increased by 6 times
• C. Increased by 9 times
• D. Unpredictable

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Unpredictable

$2X+Y$ $\to$ $M+N$
here,
It requires more data, e.g., different rate values are not given for different experiments or rate law is not given.
