Hi I am stuck on this problem and would appreciate any availabel assistance.
For reaction: 2H2(g) + 2NO (g) ----> N2 (g) + 2H2O(g) the followig data was taken
Experiment 1: [NO]iniial = 10.0M
Experiment 2: [NO]intial = 20.0M
t(s) Experiment 1 [H2] in M Experiment 2 [H2] in M
0 10 x 10^-3 10 x 10 ^-3
10 8.4 x 10^-3 5.0 x 10 ^-3
20 7.1 x 10^-3 2.5 x 10^-3
30 not measured 1.3 x 10^-3
40 5.0 x 10^-3 .63 x 10^-3
Determine kinetic order in [H2] and [N2]
Calculate the [H2] at 30 s
I know the kinetic order for [H2] is 1
I know the rate law = k' [H2] and that k' = k [NO] ^n
I'm not sure what the kinetic order for [NO] is. I know the [NO] initial was doubled from exp 1 to exp 2.
If I use t1/2 = .693/k , I find that k = .693/40 = .017325
Thanks
