If the rate of a reaction increases by a factor of 64 when the concentration of reactant increases by a factor of 4, what is the order of the reaction with respect to this reactant?

The reaction is of order three with respect to the reactant.

The rate of a reaction of order n about a certain reactant is proportion to the concentration of that reactant raised to the n-th power. This is true only if  concentrations of any other reactants stay constant in the whole process.

In other words, Rate = constant × [Reactant]ⁿ, Rate ∝ [Reactant]ⁿ. (The symbol "∝" reads "proportional to".)

In this question,

[4 × Reactant]ⁿ ÷ [Reactant]ⁿ = 64.

In other words, 4ⁿ = 64, where n is the order of the reaction with respect to this reactant.

It might take some guesswork to find the value of n. Alternatively, n can be solved directly with a calculator using logarithms. Taking natural log of both sides:

.

Evaluating on Google or on a calculator with support for ln (the natural log) will give the value of n- no guesswork required.

n = 3. Therefore, the reaction is of order three with respect to this reactant.

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.

i think? ?
