Understanding the high-temperature behavior of nitrogen oxides is essential for controlling pollution generated in automobile en
gines. The decomposition of nitric oxide (no) to n2 and o2 is second order with a rate constant of 0.0796 m−1⋅s−1 at 737∘c and 0.0815 m−1⋅s−1 at 947∘c. You may want to reference (page) section 14.5 while completing this problem. Part a calculate the activation energy for the reaction. Express the activation energy in kilojoules per mole to three significant digits.
