Question

Nitrogen dioxide gas dissociates to give nitric oxide and oxygen. For this reaction, when a graph is ploted between concentration of `NO_(2)` and time, the slope of tangent drawn at time t=10 s is found to be `6.8xx 10^(-4)` mol `L^(-1) s^(-1)` .predict the slope of the graph at t=10s when the concentration of NO and `O_(2)` are plotted against time. Justify your answer.

Answer 1

(i) The rate of reaction in terms of reactants can be determined if the balanced equation is known
(ii) balanced equation
(iii) rate of reaction in terms of `NO, NO_(2) and O_(2)`
(iv) `3.4xx10^(-4) "mol "L^(-1) s`
