For the gas phase reaction 2 NO2 + F2 -> 2 NO2F, the rate constant is 38 dm3 mol-1 s-1 at 300K. The reaction is first order in F2 and NO2.
(a) Calculate the number of moles of NO2, F2, andNO2F present after 10 S if 2.00 moles of NO2 are mixed with 3.00 moles of F2 in a 400 dm3 vessel at 300 K.
(b) Calculate the initial rate and the rate after 10 seconds for this mixture.
