Effect of Doubling Concentration on Reaction Rate

A chemical reaction occurs when reactants convert into products. The rate of this reaction can be affected by several factors, including temperature, concentration of reactants, and presence of catalysts. Chemical kinetics is the study of these rates of reactions and the mechanisms by which they occur.

Consider a simple reaction where the rate law is expressed as rate = k [A]^2 [B]. In this expression, k represents the rate constant, and [A] and [B] represent the concentrations of the reactants. If the concentration of reactant A is doubled and the concentration of reactant B remains constant, what effect would this have on the rate of the reaction?
