Question

The reaction of nitrogen dioxide with carbon monoxide

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) Rate = k[NO2]^2[CO]

(2) The rate of the reaction is 1.195 Ms^-1

Explanation:

(1) Equation of reaction

NO2 + CO = NO + CO2

The reaction is second-order in NO2 and zero-order in CO

Therefore, rate = k[NO2]^2[CO]^0

(2) Rate = k[NO2]^2[CO]^0

k = 0.790 M^-1s^-1

[NO2] = 1.23 M

[CO] = 0.221 M

Rate = 0.79×1.23^2×0.221^0 = 1.195 Ms^-1
