According to van't Hoff π ∝ C (At constant temp.) and π ∝ t (At constant concentration) Both laws are combined, we have

π ∝ cT and c = n/V

π = RcT

∴ π = (n/V)RT

or, π = (W/M)RT

where,  M = Molecular weight and 

R = Gas constant

For a chemical reaction rate law is, rate `= k{A]^(2)[B]`. If [A] is doubled at constant [B], the rate of reactionA. increases by a factor of 8B. increases by a factor of 4C. incr-eases by a factor of 3D. increases by a factor of 2

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Given,
Initial rate `= k [A]^(2) [B]`
if `[A]^(1) = 2 [A]`
