Question

and solve an old kinetics exam problem 1. Consider the reaction NO(g) H2(g) ViNizlg) H20 (g) For this reaction the following data were determined at 826 deg C The Rate was defined as -dPNo/dt. With initial PM2 400 mm Hg With initial PNO 400 mm H Initial Pivo mm Hg Rate, mmmm Hgis Initial PIL2, mmHg Rate mmHgls 289 0.800 359. 0,750 0.550 0.515 300 205 152 147 0.395 0.125 a) Determine the rate law for this reaction, including the value and units of k.(7 pts) b) What would the value ofkbe if the rate had been defined as dPN2/dt? (1pt) c) What would be the initial rate, defined as -dPNo/dt, if you had initial pressures of 0.10 atm for both hydrogen and nitrogen oxide? (2 pts)

Explanation / Answer

a.

The global rate law is supposed to be:

-dpNO/dt = k
