The thermal decomposition of acetaldehyde :
CH3CHO\(\text { → }\)CH4 + CO, has rate constant of 1.8 × 10–3 mole–1/2 L1/2 min–1 at a given temperature. How would \(-\frac{\mathrm{d}\left[\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}\right]}{\mathrm{t}}\) will change if concentration of acetaldehyde is doubled keeping the temperature constant ?
  1. will increase by 2.828 times
  2. will increase by 11.313 times
  3. will not change
  4. will increase by 4 times

Answer

(A) will increase by 2.828 times
