The reaction 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g) is second order in NO as well as first order in O2. Explain when [NO] = 1 M and [O2] = 2.6 M, the observed rate of disappearance of NO is 0.00024180 M/s.
(a) Explain what is the value of the rate constant?
Explain by what factor would the rate of reaction of NO increase?
(d) Define what is the rate of reaction when [NO] = 0.1 M and [O2] = 0.83 M?
