Chemical Kinetics - Result Question 9
####9. The rate of the reaction
$2 NO+Cl_2 \longrightarrow 2 NOCl$ is given by the rate equation rate $=k[NO]^{2}[Cl_2]$
[2010]
The value of the rate constant can be increased by:
(a) increasing the concentration of NO.
(b) increasing the temperature.
(c) increasing the concentration of the $Cl_2$
(d) doing all of these
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) $2 NO(g)+Cl_2$ (g) $\rightarrow 2 NOCl(g)$
Rate $=k[NO]^{2}[Cl_2]$
The value of rate constant can be increased by increasing the temperature and is independent of the initial concerntration of the reactants.
