Explanation / Answer

A)

see experiment 2 and 1:

[NO] doubles

[H2] is constant

rate becomes 4 times

so, order of NO is 2

see experiment 2 and 3:

[NO] is constant

[H2] doubles

rate doubles

so, order of H2 is 1

B)

Rate law is:

rate = k*[NO]^2*[H2]

C)

Put values from 1st row of table in rate law

rate = k*[NO]^2*[H2]

0.191 = k*0.498^2*0.122^1

k = 6.313 M-2.s-1

k = 6.313 L2/mol2.s

Answer: 6.313 L2/mol2.s

D)

rate = k*[NO]^2*[H2]

rate =6.313*0.330^2*0.325^1

rate = 0.223 M/s

rate = 0.223 mol/L.s

Answer: 0.223 mol/L.s
