Question
What is the reaction order if the reaction rate triples when the concentration of a reactant is increased by a factor of 3$?$
Step 1
This is represented as $R_2/R_1 = (C_2/C_1)^\alpha$, where $R_2$ and $R_1$ are the final and initial reaction rates, $C_2$ and $C_1$ are the final and initial concentrations of the reactant, and $\alpha$ is the reaction order. Show more…

What is the order of a reaction if its rate triples when the reactant concentration triples?
Reaction Rates
How Can Reaction Rates be Explained?
On doubling the concentration of reactant, the rate of reaction triples. Find the reaction order.
For a reaction; $3 A \longrightarrow$ Products, it is found that the rate of reaction becomes nine times if concentration of $A$ is increased three times, calculate order of reaction.
