For a reaction of the form, A + B + C --> Products, the following observations are made: tripling the concentration of A increases the rate by a factor of 27, doubling the concentration of B has no effect on the rate, and tripling the concentration of C increases the rate by a factor of 3 Rate = k[A][B][C] Rate = k[A][C]     Rate = k[A]2 [C] Rate = k[A][C]2 Rate = k[A]2 [C]2 Rate = k[A]3 [C] Rate = k[A][C]3 . By what factor will the rate of the reaction described in part (b) above change if the concentrations of A, B, and C are all halved (reduced by a factor of 2)?

Question

 

For a reaction of the form, A + B + C --> Products, the following observations are made: tripling the concentration of A increases the rate by a factor of 27, doubling the concentration of B has no effect on the rate, and tripling the concentration of C increases the rate by a factor of 3

Rate = k[A][B][C]

Rate = k[A][C]    

Rate = k[A]2 [C]

Rate = k[A][C]2

Rate = k[A]2 [C]2

Rate = k[A]3 [C]

Rate = k[A][C]3

. By what factor will the rate of the reaction described in part (b) above change if the concentrations of A, B, and C are all halved (reduced by a factor of 2)?
