Rate equation of this reaction is: rate = k[B][C]2
The original rate of reaction is 6.5 (mol dm-3 s-1) what would the new rate be if B was doubled and C was tripled at the same time.
Thanks in advance.

Well B is first order and C is second order.
Doubling B doubles the rate (*2)
Tripling C multiple the rate by 3^2 (*9)
So multiply the rate by 2 and then multiply the answer by 9.

I just did this stuff today for the first time, but I agree with what Mr. Kill3er has said here except for one thing; surely the tripling the concentration of C would result in the rate increasing by 2^3 and the other way round? So multiply by 8 instead of 9? I may be wrong but this is what I thought...

Ohh okay
Thanks for the clarification! How did you find A2 chem? I'm with Edexcel and I found As relatively easy; the exams in particular (I think I got around 73/80 give or take a couple of marks on both papers).
Ohh okay
