Question

Write the rate law for the following reactions.

1. A reaction that is 3/2 order in x and zero order in y.

2. A reaction that is second order in NO and first order in Br_2^.

Answer 1

1. \(\frac{3}{2}\)x + y (excess) → products

-\(\frac{3}{2}\) \(\frac{d[x]}{dt}\) = = k [x]^3/2

2. 2NO + Br₂ → products

-\(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\frac{d[NO]}{dt}\)  k [NO]²[Br₂]
