Adding NH3 to the stack gases at an electric power generating plant can reduce NOx emissions. This selective noncatalytic reduction (SNR) processes depends on the reaction between NH2 (an odd-electron compound) and NO.
NH2(g) + NO(g) ------> N2(g) + H2O(g)
The following kinetic data were collected at 1200 K
Experiment [NH2] (M) [NO] (M) Rate (M/s)
1 1.00 x 10-5 1.00 x 10-5 0.12
2 2.00 x 10-5 1.00 x 10-5 0.24
3 2.00 x 10-5 1.50 x 10-5 0.36
4 2.50 x 10-5 1.50 x 10-5 0.45
What is the rate law expression for the reaction, and what is the value of the rate constant at 1200 K?
