As we learnt in

nth order reaction -

The rates of the reaction is proportional to nth power of reactant

- wherein

Differential rate law

=\frac{dx}{dt}=k(a-x)^{n}

Integrated rate laws,

=\frac{1}{x-1}=[(a-x)^{1-n} -a^{(1-n)}]=kt

a= initial, concentration of reactant at t=0 sec

x= concentration of product formed at t= tsec

t_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{(a^{n-1})(k^{n-1})}[2^{n-1}-1]

 

 

 rate_{1} = K\left [ CO \right ]^{2} \ \\rate_{2} = K\left [ 2CO \right ]^{2}= 4K\left [ CO \right ]^{2} \\rate_{2} = 4\times rate_{1}


Option 1)

remain unchanged

This option is incorrect

Option 2)

tripled

This option is incorrect

Option 3)

increased by a factor of 4

This option is correct

Option 4)

doubled

This option is incorrect
