Can somebody please help me with this? Anything will help. Thank you.

The balanced chemical equation and the rate law for the reaction of nitrogen monoxide with chlorine are given.

2NO(g)+Cl2(g)--->2NOCl(g)
R=K[NO]2[Cl2]

Describe the order of each reactant and the overall reaction order. Explain how the rate will change if the concentration of NO is tripled.

Respuesta :

R=K[NO]²[Cl2]¹
When we look at the rate of reaction formula,
we can see exponent of [NO] =2,  that means that order of reaction with respect to NO equals 2.
We can see that exponent of [Cl2] =1, that means that order of reaction with respect to Cl2 equals 1.
Overall order of reaction = 2+1 = 3

If concentration of NO is tripled, then
R=K[NO]²[Cl2]
R1=K(3[NO])²[Cl2]=9K[NO]²[Cl2]=9R.
If the concentration of NO is tripled, then rate will increase 9 times.
