1. A scientist studies the reaction 2NO2(g) 2NO(g) + O2(g). She performs three experiments using different concentrations of NO2 and measures the initial reaction rate.

Experiment : [NO2] (mol/L) : Initial Rate ((mol/L)/s)
1 : 0.1 : 0.006
2 : 0.3 : 0.054
3 : 0.5 : 0.150

A. The concentration ratio between trials 2 and 1 is: 0.3 / 0.1 = 3.
B. The ratio between reaction rates is: 0.054 / 0.006 = 9.
C. We solve the equation: (concentration ratio)^x = (reaction rate ratio): [tex]3^x = 9[/tex], which gives x = 2, and the exponent in the rate law is 2.
D. The rate law will have the equation: r = k[NO2]^2
E. To solve for k, we can substitute the values for [NO2] = 0.1, rate = 0.006. This gives: [tex]0.006 = k(0.1)^2[/tex], which yields k = 0.6 L/mol-s.
F. Since the exponent is 2, this is a second-order reaction.
