By what factor would the reaction rate increase?

The reaction of the formation of nitryl fluoride, 2NO2(g) + F2(g) --->2NO2F9G)
is first order in NO2 and first order in F2 . If the concentration of NO2 was increased by half and the concentration of F2 was quadrupled, by what factor would the reaction rate increase?

Answer:
Increasing [NO2] by half means increasing it by a factor of 1.5
Quadrupling [F2] means increasing it by a factor of 4

Because each is FIRST order, the rate will reflect the increases in concentration exactly.

rate(2) = rate(1) x 1.5 x 4 = rate(1) x 6

Your rate increases by a factor of 6
What factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction?

Temperature
Concentrations of reactants
Catalysts
Surface area of a solid reactant
Pressure of gaseous reactants or products...
