Chemistry · JEE Main · NTA ExamsChemical Kinetics

The thermal decomposition of acetaldehyde: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{4}+\mathrm{CO}_{4}\) has rate constant of 1.8 × 10-3 mole-1/2 L1/2 min-1 at a given temperature. How would \(-\frac{d\left[\mathrm{CH}_{3}[\mathrm{CHO}]\right.}{d t}\) 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
