The rate equation of a gaseous reaction is given by, $r = k[A][B]$. If the volume of reaction vessel is suddenly reduced to half of the initial volume, the reaction rate relating to the original rate will be
- $ \frac{1}{4}$
- 4
- $ \frac{1}{2}$
- 2
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$r_1 = k[A] [B]$ When volume is reduced to half then concentration gets doubled. $\therefore \:\:\: r_2 = k[2AJ] [2B] = 4 k[A] [B] = 4\, r_1$
When the volume of a gaseous reaction vessel is reduced to half, the concentration of the reactants will double.
The rate equation for the reaction is given by r = k[A][B]. If the concentration of both A and B is doubled, the new rate of the reaction can be calculated as:
r' = k[2A][2B] = k(2A)(2B) = 4kAB
So, the new rate of the reaction (r') is four times the initial rate (r). Therefore, the reaction rate relating to the original rate will be 4.
Hence, the correct answer is 4.

Concepts Used:
Chemical Kinetics
Chemical kinetics is the description of the rate of a chemical reaction. This is the rate at which the reactants are transformed into products. This may take place by abiotic or by biological systems, such as microbial metabolism.
Rate of a Chemical Reaction:
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time. To be more specific, it can be expressed in terms of: (i) the rate of decrease in the concentration of any one of the reactants, or (ii) the rate of increase in concentration of any one of the products. Consider a hypothetical reaction, assuming that the volume of the system remains constant. R → P

Factors Affecting The Reaction Rate:
- The concentration of Reactants - According to collision theory, which is discussed later, reactant molecules collide with each other to form products.
- Nature of the Reactants - The reaction rate also depends on the types of substances that are reacting.
- Physical State of Reactants - The physical state of a reactant whether it is solid, liquid, or gas can greatly affect the rate of change.
- Surface Area of Reactants - When two or more reactants are in the same phase of fluid, their particles collide more often than when either or both are in the solid phase or when they are in a heterogeneous mixture. In a heterogeneous medium, the collision between the particles occurs at an interface between phases. Compared to the homogeneous case, the number of collisions between reactants per unit time is significantly reduced, and so is the reaction rate.
- Temperature - If the temperature is increased, the number of collisions between reactant molecules per second. Increases, thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.
- Effect Of Solvent - The nature of the solvent also depends on the reaction rate of the solute particles.
- Catalyst - Catalysts alter the rate of the reaction by changing the reaction mechanism.
