The reaction 2NO(g) + O₂(g) $\rightarrow$2NO₂(g) has the following rate law: Rate = k[O₂][NO]². If the concentration of NO is reduced by a factor of two, the rate will ________

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law shows that the rate is proportional to the concentration of NO squared. Reducing the concentration of NO by a factor of two will reduce the rate by a factor of (1/2)^2 = 1/4.

The Reaction 2NO(g) + O2(g) →\rightarrow→ 2NO2(g) Has the Following Rate Law: Rate = K[O2][NO]2

The Reaction 2NO(g) + O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ 2NO₂(g) Has the Following Rate Law: Rate = K[O₂][NO]²
