Options:
  • A $[\mathrm{A}]$ and $[\mathrm{B}]$ both are doubled
  • B $[A]$ is doubled and $[B]$ is kept constant
  • C $[\mathrm{B}]$ is doubled and $[\mathrm{A}]$ is halved
  • D $[\mathrm{A}]$ is kept constant $[\mathrm{B}]$ is halved

The correct answer is: $[A]$ is doubled and $[B]$ is kept constant
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Rate }=\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{A}][\mathrm{B}] \\ & (\text { Rate })_1=\mathrm{k} \times 2[\mathrm{~A}][\mathrm{B}] \\ & \frac{(\text { Rate })_1}{\text { Rate }}=\frac{\mathrm{k} 2[\mathrm{~A}][\mathrm{B}]}{\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{A}][\mathrm{B}]}=2 \\ & (\text { Rate })_1=2 \times \text { Rate }\end{aligned}$
