Question

4.2 mol of oxygen and 4.0 mol of NO are introduced to an evacuated 0.50 L reaction vessel. At a specific temperature, the equilibrium 2NO(g) + O 2(g) 2NO 2(g) is reached when [NO] = 1.6 M. Calculate K c for the reaction at this temperature.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

At 593K a particular decomposition’s rate constant had a value of 5.21×10−4 and at 673K the same reaction’s rate constant was 7.42×10−3. It was noticed that when the reactant’s initial concentration was 0.2264 M (with a 593K reaction temperature), the initial reaction rate was identical to the initial rate when the decomposition was run at 673K with an initial reactant concentration of 0.05999 M. Recall that rate laws have the form rate = k [A]x and, showing work, determine the order of the decomposition reaction.
