For the reaction 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) --->2NOCl(g) if the concentration of NO is tripled, the rate of the reaction increases by a factor of nine. if the concentration of Cl2 is cut in half, the rate of the reaction is decreased to half the original rate. Find the order of reaction for each reactant and write the rate expression for the reaction.
Rate expression is the one which shows how the rate of a reaction depends upon the concentration of the reactants and catalyst.
The powers of the concentration in the rate expression is called the order of the reaction with respect to the reactant
Sum of these powers of the concentration in the rate law expression gives the order of the reaction.
