Answer #1

(a) Average rate = - [A]/t = [A]final - [A]initial / tfinal - tinitial

(Here A is reactant and negative sign is to make quantity positive)

For the given reaction average rate = - [NO2]/t = -(0.904 - 0.951 / 20 - 10)= -(-0.047)/10 = 0.0047 M/s

(b) 1 mole of NO2 reacts to give 1/2 mole of oxygen

For the given reaction we can also write - 1/2[NO2]/t = [O2]/t

Thus average rate of formation of O2 = 0.0047/2 = 0.00235 M/s
