the following data were obtained for the reaction, 2NO2(g)-->2NO (g) + O2.
Times (NO2)
0 0.8333
20 0.4167
40 0.2778
60 0.2083
c) what is the reaction order with respect to NO2? explain
D) write the rate law for this equation
From the given data, calculate the rate of reaction
Rate of reaction = [NO2] / Time
For 20 s, rate of reaction = 0.4167/20 = 0.020835 mol L-1 s-1
Similarly,
Time (s) | [NO2], M | Rate of reaction M/s |
0 | 0.8333 | --- |
20 | 0.4167 | 0.020835 |
40 | 0.2778 | 0.006945 |
60 | 0.2083 | 0.003472 |
Predicted rate law = k [NO2]m
Rate1 / rate2 = [NO2]m1 / [NO2]m2
0.020835/0.006945 = (0.4167)m / (0.2778)m
3 = 3m
m =1
Order with respect to NO2 = 1 (first order)
Rate law = k [NO2]
