Given information
The data shown here were collected for the reaction:
[NO2] (M) | [F2] (M) | Initial Rate (M/s) |
0.100 | 0.100 | 0.026 |
0.200 | 0.100 | 0.051 |
0.200 | 0.200 | 0.103 |
0.400 | 0.400 | 0.411 |
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
To find the order of the reaction:
S.NO: | [NO2] (M) | [F2] (M) | Initial Rate (M/s) |
1. | 0.100 | 0.100 | 0.026 |
2. | 0.200 | 0.100 | 0.051 |
3. | 0.200 | 0.200 | 0.103 |
4. | 0.400 | 0.400 | 0.411 |
To check how change in concentration of [NO2] affects the Initial rate of this reaction,
Let us divide the Row 3/Row 2:
[In this case [F2] is not changing but [NO2] is changing hence we can find the affect of [NO2] on the initial rate of the reaction]
Hence when [NO2] doubles the initial rate also doubles.
Therefore we can say the order of the reaction with respect to [NO2] is one.
