If a reaction rate has a first-order dependence on a given reactant concentration, what will happen to the rate when the concentration of that reactant is doubled?
Added by Michelle G.
Step 1
A first-order reaction has the rate law: $rate = k[A]$, where $k$ is the rate constant and $[A]$ is the concentration of the reactant. Show more…

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?
If the concentration of a reactant is doubled, by what factor will the rate increase if the reaction is second order with respect to that reactant?
