Determine the rate equation, the rate constant, and the overall order for this reaction
2NOCl(g) ⟶ 2NO(g) + Cl2 (g)
Step 1. Calculate the order
2 raised to 2 = 4
x = 2 → 2nd order
Since there is only 1 reactant, the overall order is 2nd order
Step 2. Setup rate law
The rate law of the reaction is: rate =k[NOCl]2
Nitrosyl chloride, NOCl, decomposes to NO and Cl2.
2NOCl(g) ⟶ 2NO(g) + Cl2 (g)
Determine the rate equation, the rate constant, and the overall order for this reaction from the following data:
