Answer:

k = 6.31 x 10⁻³ min⁻¹

Explanation:

The equation required to solve this question is:

k = 0693 / t half-life

This equation is derived from the the equation from the radioctive first order reactions:

ln At/A₀ = -kt

where At is the number of isoopes after a time t , and A₀ is the number of of isotopes initially. The half-life is when the number of  isotopes has decayed by a half, so

ln(1/2) = -kt half-life

-0.693 = - k t half-life

t half-life = 109.8 min

⇒ k = 0.693 / t half-life = 0.693 / 109.8 min = 6.31 x 10⁻³ min⁻¹

Answer:

1.553 M^2s^-1

Explanation:

Now let us consider experiments 1,2,3.

In experiment 1 and 2, the concentration of NO is doubled and the initial rate of reaction is quadrupled.

0.575/0.144 = 4

So;

2^2 =4

In experiment 2 and 3

The concentration of reaction of H2 is doubled and the rate of reaction is doubled.

0.575/0.287 = 2

2^1 =2

So we can now write;

Rate =k[NO]^2 [H2]^1

Taking up the first reaction;

0.144 =k [0.475]^2 [0.411]

k = 0.144/ [0.475]^2 [0.411]

k = 1.553 M^2s^-1
