For the reaction $A + B \to C$,it is found that doubling the concentration of $A$ increases the rate by $4$ times,and doubling the concentration of $B$ doubles the reaction rate. What is the overall order of the reaction?

For the reaction $2A + 2B \rightarrow 2C + D$,the rate law is expressed as $\text{rate} = k[A]^2[B]$. Calculate the rate constant if the rate of reaction is $0.24 \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$ where $[A] = 0.5 \ M$ and $[B] = 0.2 \ M$.

The rate law for the reaction between substances $A$ and $B$ is given by $\text{Rate} = k[A]^n[B]^m$. If the concentration of $A$ is doubled and the concentration of $B$ is halved,what is the ratio of the new rate to the initial rate?

The reaction $3ClO^{-} \rightarrow ClO_{3}^{-} + 2Cl^{-}$ occurs in the following two steps:
$(i)$ $ClO^{-} + ClO^{-} \xrightarrow{K_{1}} ClO_{2}^{-} + Cl^{-}$ (Slow step)
$(ii)$ $ClO_{2}^{-} + ClO^{-} \xrightarrow{K_{2}} ClO_{3}^{-} + Cl^{-}$ (Fast step)
Then the rate of the given reaction is equal to . . . . . . .

$A$ bacterial infection in an internal wound grows as $N(t) = N_0 \exp(t)$,where the time $t$ is in hours. $A$ dose of antibiotic,taken orally,needs $1 \ hour$ to reach the wound. Once it reaches there,the bacterial population decreases as $\frac{dN}{dt} = -5N^2$. What will be the plot of $\frac{N_0}{N}$ vs. $t$ after $1 \ hour$?
