Question

For the reaction

CO + NO2 CO2 + NO

the rate law is Rate =k[NO2]2

Which of the following are true statements?

a) The rate of the reaction depends on [CO]

b) The exponent of [NO] in the rate law can not be determinedfrom the stoichiometry of the reaction

c) Doubling the concentration of NO2 doubles the rateof the reaction

d) Doubling the concentration of CO doubles the rate of thereaction

e) Tripling the concentration of NO2 has the sameeffect on the reaction rate as tripling the concentration of CO

Explanation / Answer

            CO+ NO2 CO2 + NO     Rate = k[NO2]2 The rate is second order with respect toNO2 but the coefficient of NO2 inthe stoichiometric equation is 1. Therefore the exponent of [NO2] in the rate law can not bedetermined from the stoichiometry of the reaction .      The answer is b)
