Consider the reaction between chlorine and nitric oxide Cl_(2(g))+2NO_

1.	Consider the reaction between chlorine and nitric oxide Cl_(2(g))+2NO_((g))to2NOCl_((g)) n doubling the concentration of both reactants,the rate of the reaction increases by a factor of 8.However,if only the concentration of Cl_(2) is doubled ,the rate increases by a factor of 2.The order of this reaction with respect to NO is....
Answer» 0 1 2 3 Solution :r=K`[Cl_(2)]^(x)[NO]^(y)` …..(i) If we double the concentration of both,rate of reaction will increase by EIGHT time. 8r=K`[2Cl_(2)]^(x)[2NO]^(y)` …….(III)Dividing equation (II) by (iii) `THEREFORE 4=2^(y)therefore 2^(2)=2^(y)therefore y=2`
