Answer:

Correct Answer: 22. (a)

Solution:

  1. For the elementary reaction, MN

Rate law can be written as

 Rate [M]n  Rate =k[M]n

When we double the concentration of [M], rate becomes 8 times, hence new rate law can be written as

8× Rate =k[2M]n  Rate 8× Rate =k[M]nk[2M]n18=1[2]n [2]n=8=[2]3n=3
