Question

13 Question (3 points) The images represent three samples of nitrogen dioxide, which is the pollutant responsible for the brown color of the atmospheric pollution. At high temperatures, nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitrogen monoxide and oxygen gas. Use the particulate model below to answer the following questions. See Hint (0.3 point) Part 3 A plot of No versus time is linear. Using this information, identify the factor by which the rate will increase in model (c) if the number NO2 of molecules is increased by a factor of 4

Answer 1

Since plot of 1/[NO2] versus time is linear thus reaction follow second order kinetics and rate become :

Rate = K[NO2]²

When [NO2] become 4 times then rate become 16 times.
