The rate of the following reaction was studied: 2NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ 2NO2(g) The initial concentration of NO was 0.500 M. After 3.76 s, the concentration was 0.209 M. What is the average rate of the overall reaction? (Hint: you need to consider the coefficient in front of NO).
2NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ 2NO2(g)
The average rate of the overall reaction = -1/2[NO]/t
= -1/2(0.209-0.5)/(3.76-0)
= 0.1455/3.76 = 0.03869M/sec >>>>>>answer
