(i) Reaction Rate = \(k{ \left[ A \right] }^{ 2 }{ \left[ B \right] }{ \left[ L \right] }^{ 3/2 }\) ...(1)
When [L] = [4L]
Rate = \(k{ \left[ A \right] }^{ 2 }{ \left[ B \right] }{ \left[ 4L \right] }^{ 3/2 }\)
The Reaction Rate = \(8(k{ \left[ A \right] }^{ 2 }{ \left[ B \right] }{ \left[ L \right] }^{ 3/2 })\) ...(2)
Comparing (1) and (2) rate is increased by 8 times
(ii)  [A] = [2A] and [B] = [2B]
Reaction Rate = \(k{ \left[ 2A \right] }^{ 2 }\left[ 2B \right] { \left[ L \right] }^{ 3/2 }\)
Reaction Rate = \(\\ 8(k{ \left[ A \right] }^{ 2 }{ \left[ B \right] }{ \left[ L \right] }^{ 3/2 })\)  ...(3)
Comparing (1) and (3) rate is increased by 8 times
(iii) \(\left[ A \right] =\left[ \frac { A }{ 2 } \right] \)

(i) A catalyst is substance which alters the rate of a reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. They may participate in the reaction, but again regenerated and the end of the reaction. In the presence of a catalyst, the energy of activation is lowered and hence, greater number of molecules can cross the energy barrier and change over to products, thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.
(ii) The reaction between KMnO₄ and H₂SO₄ and oxalic acid is catalysed by MnSO₄ and increases the rate of oxidation of C₂O₄^2- by MnO₄^-.

A reaction in which the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactant over a wide range of concentration is called a zero order reaction.
Let us consider the following by hypothetical zero order reaction.
 A⟶ product 
The rate law can be written as,
Rate = k[A]⁰ 
\(\frac { -d\left[ A \right] }{ dt } =k(1)\ \ \ \therefore \left( { \left[ A \right] }^{ 0 }=1 \right) \)
\(\Rightarrow -d\left[ A \right] =kdt\)
Integrate the above equation between the limits of [A₀] at zero time and [A] at some later time 't',
\(-\int _{ \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }^{ \left[ A \right] }{ d\left[ A \right] } =k\int _{ 0 }^{ t }{ dt } \)
\(-{ \left( \left[ A \right] \right) }_{ \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }^{ \left[ A \right] }=k{ \left( t \right) }_{ 0 }^{ t }\)
[A₀] - [A] = kt   
\(k=\frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] -\left[ A \right] }{ t } \)
Straight line equation y = mx + c
ie., \(\left[ A \right] =-kt+\left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] \)
⇒ y = c + mx
A plot [A] vs time gives a straight line with a slope of -k and y intercept of [A₀]

Rate law:
(i) Rate law or rate equation is an expression which relates the rate of a reaction with rate constant and the concentration of reactants.
(ii) For xA + yB → products
(iii) The rate law is r = k[A]^m[B]ⁿ
Rate constant:
(i) It is the rate of the reaction when the concentration of the reactants are taken unity.
In above rate law if[A] = [B] = 1, rate constant k = Rate

Average rate of reaction:
The average rate is defined as the ratio of change in the final concentration of reactants and the initial concentration of reactants over the entire time period of reaction.
Average rate=\(\frac{-[Final \space concentration \space of \space reactants - Initial \space concentration \space of \space reactants}{(Change \space in \space time)}\)
R \(=\frac{-\left(\left[A_{2}\right]-\left[A_{1}\right]\right)}{\left(t_{2}-t_{1}\right)}=-\left(\frac{\Delta[A]}{\Delta t}\right)\)
[A]₁ = Concentration of reactant A₁ at time t₁
[A]₂ = Concentration of reactant A₂ at time t₂
Instantaneous rate of reaction:
The rate of reaction at any particular instant during the course of reaction is called as instantaneous rate.
Instantaneous rate \(=(\text { Average rate })_{\Delta t \rightarrow 0}\)
Rate of the reaction \(=\left(\frac{-\Delta \mathrm{A}}{\Delta \mathrm{t}}\right)\)

Rate = K[X]ⁿ[y]^m
4 x 10^-3 mol L^-1s^-1= 2 x 10^-2s^-1(0.2mol L^-1)ⁿ(0.2mol L^-1)^m
\(\frac { 4\times { 10 }^{ -3 }mol\quad { L }^{ -1 }{ s }^{ -1 } }{ 2\times { 10 }^{ -2 }{ s }^{ -1 } } =\) (0.2)^n+m(mol L^-1)^n+m
0.2(mol L^-1) = (0.2)^n+m(mol L^-1)^n+m
Comparing the powers on both sides
The overall order of the reaction n + m = 1

a) First order with respect to Br⁻, first order with respect to BrO₃⁻ and second order with respect to H⁺. Hence the overall order of the reaction is equal to 1 + 1 + 2 = 4
b) Order of the reaction with respect to acetaldehyde is \(\frac{3}{2}\) and overall order is also \(\frac{3}{2}\)

a) \(Rate=\frac { -1 }{ 2 } \frac { d[NO] }{ dt } =\frac { -d[{ O }_{ 2 }] }{ dt } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \frac { d\left[ { NO }_{ 2 } \right] }{ dt } \)
b) \(\frac { -d\left[ { O }_{ 2 } \right] }{ dt } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \frac { d\left[ { NO }_{ 2 } \right] }{ dt } \)
\(\frac { d[{ NO }_{ 2 }] }{ dt } =2 \times\left( \frac { -d\left[ { O }_{ 2 } \right] }{ dt } \right) =2\times 0.2 \ { mol \ L }^{ -1 }{ s }^{ -1 }\)
= 0.4 mol L^-1s^-1

Average rate = \(-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \frac { \triangle \left[ A \right] }{ \triangle L } \)
\(=-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \frac { { \left[ A \right] }_{ 2 }-{ \left[ A \right] }_{ 1 } }{ { t }_{ 2 }-{ t }_{ 1 } } \)
\(=-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( \frac { 0.4-0.5 }{ 10 } \right) \)
\(=-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( \frac { -0.1 }{ 10 } \right) \)
= 0.005 mol L^-1 min^-1
= 5 x 10^-3 M min^-1

For n^th reaction
\(K\alpha \frac { 1 }{ { C }^{ n-1 } } \)

Order of the reaction = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } +\frac { 3 }{ 2 } =\frac { 4 }{ 2 } =2\)
The reaction is second order.

The order of the reaction is zero.

The reaction is a zero order reaction whose rate is independent on the concentration of reactants.

Rate of a reaction at any time depends on the concentration of the reactants which keeps on decreasing with time.

Minus sign i.e.  \(\frac { -dA }{ dt } \) or \(\frac { -dB }{ dt } \) indicates decreases in the concentration of reactants whereas + sign indicates in the concentration of products with time i.e. \(\frac { +dC }{ dt } \)
