Solutions

Expert Solution

The reaction is 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g)

Let the rate law be r = k [NO] m [O2] n    

From the table the rate law for the three readings will be as follows:

reading (1)    ------> 8.55 x 10-3 = k (0.030 ) m (0.0055)n                          ------------------------- (1)

reading (2)    ------> 1.71 x 10-2 = k (0.030 ) m (0.0110)n                          ------------------------- (2)

reading (3)    ------> 3.42 x 10-2 = k (0.060 ) m (0.0055)n                          ------------------------- (3)

Eqn (3) / Eqn (1) becomes

                                      

                                              m = 2

Eqn (2) / Eqn (1) becomes

                                      

                                                  n = 1

So rate law becomes r = k [NO] 2 [O2] 1   

                              r = k [NO] 2 [O2]

Substitute the values of r, [A] & [B] from reading (1) we get

          8.55 x 10-3 = k (0.030 )2 (0.0055)

                       k = 1.7 x 103 M-2s-1
