a) Nitrogen dioxide `(NO_(2))` dissociates into nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen `(O_(2))` as follows:
Write the rate of reaction in terms of (i) rate of disappearance of `NO_(2)` ii) rate of formation of NO and iii) rate of formation of `O_(2)`. Equate the three rates of reaction.
b) If the rate of decreases of concentration of `NO_(2)` is `6.0 xx 10^(-12)` mol `L^(-1)s^(-1)`, calculate the rate of increase of concentration of NO and `O_(2)`
