The rate of reaction between two `A` and `B` decreases by factor `4` if the concentration of reactant `B` is doubled. The order of this reaction with respect to `B` isA. `-1`B. `-2`C. 1D. 2

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`A + B to "product"`
` Rate Iprop [A]^(x)[B]^(y)`
the rate decreases by a factor 4 if the concentration of reaction B is doubled
`(I)/(4)prop[A]^(x)[2B]^(y)`
from Eqs(i) and (ii)
`4=((1)/(2))^(y)`
`y=-2`
hence order of reaction with respect to B is -2.
