The order of a reaction \(\mathrm{W}+\mathrm{X} \rightarrow \mathrm{Y}+\mathrm{Z}\) with respect to W is 3 and with respect to X is 1. If the concentrations of both W and X are tripled, the rate of reaction will increase by ________ times

  1. A \(51\)
  2. B \(81\)
  3. C \(27\)
  4. D \(15\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(81\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The rate law for the reaction \(\mathrm{W} + \mathrm{X} \rightarrow \mathrm{Y} + \mathrm{Z}\) is given by \(r = k[W]^3[X]^1\). Let the initial concentrations be \([W]_1\) and \([X]_1\). The initial rate is \(r_1 = k[W]_1^3[X]_1^1\). When the concentrations are tripled, the new…
