Multiple Choice
Given the rate law rate = [p]^2[g][o], what is the overall order of the reaction?
Consider the rate law. rate=𝑘[a]𝑥 determine the value of 𝑥 if the rate doubles when [a] is doubled.
| Experiment | Initial [NH4+] | Initial [NO2] | Initial rate (M/s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experiment 1 | 0.24 M | 0.10 M | 7.2 × 10-6 M/s |
| Experiment 2 | 0.12 M | 0.10 M | 3.6 × 10-6 M/s |
| Experiment 3 | 0.12 M | 0.15 M | 5.4 × 10-6 M/s |
Determine if the following mechanism is valid.
Step 1: NOCl (g) ⇌ NO (g) + Cl (g) (fast)
Step 2: NOCl (g) + Cl (g) → NO (g) + Cl2 (g) (slow)
