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.
