The conversion of molecules \(A\) to \(B\) follows second order kinetics. If the concentration of \(A\) is increased to four times, how will the rate of formation of \(B\) be affected?

  1. A Increases by 9 times
  2. B Increases by 4 times
  3. C Increases by 16 times
  4. D Increases by 10 times
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Increases by 16 times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Rate}_1 = k[A]^2 \) \( \text{Rate}_2 = k(4[A])^2 = 16k[A]^2 \) \( \frac{\text{Rate}_2}{\text{Rate}_1} = \frac{16k[A]^2}{k[A]^2} = 16 \)
