Question

The reaction of ammonium ion with nitrite ion in aqueous solution

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate = k[NH4+][NO2-]

Explanation:

The rate law is the equation that relates the rate of chemical reaction with the concentration or pressure of the reactants. For the above reaction between ammonium ion and nitrite ion in a solution, the rate is dependent on the availability of reactants in the solution.

The ammonium ion is first order and the overall order is second and the rate law is hence written as,

R = k [NH4+][NO2-]
