Question

The formation of nitrogen dioxide and oxygen,

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of reaction changes by a factor 6.

Explanation:

Given the reaction is first order.

Let us assume the initial concentration of $NO$ is $A$ and the initial concentration of $O_3$ is $B$.

So, we can write the rate of the reaction as

$R=k[A][B]$

Where,

$R$ is the rate of reaction. And $k$ is the rate constant.

Also, the initial concentration of $NO$ has been increased by $0.5$, and the initial concentration of  $O_3$ was increased by factor $4$.

So, we have

$R'=k[1.5A][4B]\\R'=6k[A][B]\\R'=6R$

We can see the rate of reaction changes by a factor 6.
