The rate of a certain chemical reaction is directly proportional to the square of the concentration of chemical A present and inversely proportional to the concentration of chemical B present. If the concentration of chemical B is increased by 100 percent, which of the following is closest to the percent change in the concentration of chemical A required to keep the reaction rate unchanged? A . 100% decrease B 50% decrease C 40% decrease D 40% increase E 50% increase
我的解答:rate 和concentration of chemical A的平方成正比,和concentration of chemical B成反比。如果B increased by 100 percent. 那么rate 应该是原来的1/2,那么concentration of chemical A应该是原来的(1/2)^(1/2),最接近的应该是C。但是答案是D。
为什么???百思不得其解。 |
