The initial rate of a reaction doubles as the concentration of one of the reactants is quadrupled. What is the order of this reactant? If a reactant has a $-1$ order, what happens to the initial rate when the concentration of that reactant increases by a factor of two?
Consider a reactant with an order of "1." What effect does that reactant have on the rate equation when the concentration is doubled? a.) The reaction rate is doubled with respect to that reactant. b.) The reaction rate isn't changed by individual reactants so there will be no change. c.) The reaction rate quadruples with respect to that reactant. d.) The order doesn't effect the reaction so there will be no change..

If the concentration of a reactant is doubled and the reaction rate is unchanged, what must be the order of the reaction with respect to that reactant?
