How can you determine the rate law of the following reactions? `2NO(g) + O_(2)(g) to 2NO_(2)(g)`

Answer» The rate law for the reaction can be determined experimentally. Firstly, the concentration of one of the reactants (e.g. `O_(2)`) is taken in large excess and the reaction rate is determined with respect to NO(g). Then the other reactant i.e. NO is taken in large excess and the reaction rate is determined with respect to `O_(2)` (g). The rate law expression for the reaction may be expressed as
Rate = `k[NO]^(x)[O_(2)]^(y)`
Where x and y are the equal coefficients of the reacting taking part in the reaction.
