In the study of chemical kinetics, the rate of a reaction can be influenced by several factors, including the concentration of reactants, temperature, and the presence of a catalyst. Consider the following reaction:
A + B → C + D
The rate law for this reaction can be expressed as:
Rate = k[A]^m[B]^n
Where k is the rate constant, and m and n represent the reaction orders with respect to reactants A and B, respectively. If the concentration of reactant B is doubled while keeping the concentration of A constant, the rate of the reaction will:
