Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The rate is proportional to the concentration of a reactant. When you double the concentration the rate doubles. The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of a reactant.
Detailed explanation-2: -So final rate will be maximum 8 times.
Detailed explanation-3: -<br> In the question, since rate is directly proportional to the conc. Of reactant, hence the reaction is of first order.
