In a reaction, A + B -> Product, the rate is doubled when the concentration of B is doubled, and rate increases by a factor of 8 when the concentrations of both the reactants (A and B) are doubled, rate law for the reaction can be written as:

  • (A) Rate = k [A] [B]

  • (B) Rate = k [A]2 [B]

  • (C) Rate = k [A] [B]2

  • (D) Rate = k [A]2 [B]2

What (B) 

Rate = k [A]2 [B]
