- Consider the following reaction and predict the new rate of the reaction if the concentration of A is doubled and the concentration of B was quadrupled. The new rate will be how many times greater than the original rate?arrow_forwardAnother common component of reaction mechanism is a catalyst. These are compounds that change the reaction mechanism and provide a pathway with a lower activation energy, and correspondingly faster reaction rate. They are a reactant in an early step in the mechanism and a product in a later step. They do not appear in the overall reaction but do appear in the rate law. 3.
