The equation is rewritten as for the same reaction. Using the IUPAC definition of rate of reaction (), which is correct?

  1. ABoth and the rate of reaction are unchanged
  2. B is unchanged but the rate of reaction is halved
  3. C is doubled and the rate of reaction is unchanged
  4. DBoth and the rate of reaction are halved

Answer: B

The physical consumption of A is unaffected by how the equation is written, so is unchanged. The rate of reaction divides by , which changes from to , so it is halved.
