JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 3. Chemical kinetics

Consider an elementary reaction
\(\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{D}(\mathrm{g})\)
If the volume of reaction mixture is suddenly reduced to \(\frac{1}{3}\) of its initial volume, the reaction rate will become ' \(x\) ' times of the original reaction rate. The value of \(x\) is :

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{9}\)
  3. C \(9\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, the reaction is elementary \(\text { Rate }=k[A]^1[B]^1\) When V is reduced to \(\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~V}\), concentration will be tripled. Hence, rate \(=9 \times(\text { rate })_{\text {initial }}\) \(x=9\)
