Q. A reaction in which reactants $(R)$ are converted into products $(P)$ follows second order kinetics. If concentration of $R$ is increased by four times, what will be the increase in the rate of formation of $P$?

Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

$R \to P$
For a second order reaction, rate $= k[R]^{2}$
If conc, of $R$ is increased by four times, rate $= k[4R]^{2}$
Hence, the rate of formation of $P$ increases by $16$ times.
