Rate Law
15. Chemical Kinetics / Rate Law / Problem 1

Nitrogen dioxide is formed from the reaction of nitrogen monoxide and oxygen gas.

2 NO (g) + O2 (g) → 2 NO(g)

Tabulated below is the initial rate of formation of NO2 data.

Table showing experiments with initial concentrations of NO and O2 and rates of NO2 formation.

Calculate the initial rate of formation of nitrogen dioxide when the initial concentrations are [NO] = 0.300 M and [O2] = 0.450 M.
