Tests were run on a small experimental reactor used for decomposing nitrogen oxides in an automobile exhaust stream. In one series of tests, a nitrogen stream containing various concentrations of N02 was fed to a reactor, and the kinetic data obtained are shown in Figure P5-12A. Each point represents one complete run. The reactor operates essentially as an isothermal backmix reactor (CSTR). What can you deduce about the apparent order of the reaction over the temperature range studied?

 The plot gives the fractional decomposition of N02 fed versus the ratio of reactor volume V (in cm3) to the N02 feed rate, FNO2.0 (g mol/h), at different

feed concentrations of N02 (in parts per million by weight).
