Question

the rate of reaction 2NO + CL2 ------> 2NOCL is
doubled when the concentration of CL2 is doubled and it
becomes 8 times when concentration of both NO and CL2
are doubled deduce the order of the reaction

Rate of the reaction R= k NOx Cl2y  ---- 1x+y = order of the reactionCondition 1 : the concentration of Cl2 is doubled, rate increases double2R = k NOx 2 ×Cl2y  -------2Compare 1  and 22R = k NOx 2 ×Cl2y R= k NOx Cl2y 2 = 2yThus y =1Condition 2 :the concentration of both NO and Cl2 are doubled, rate increases 8 times8R = k 2 × NOx 2 ×Cl2y  -------3Compare 1  and 38R = k 2 × NOx 2 ×Cl2y R= k NOx Cl2y 8 =2x 2yAs y =18 =2x 22x = 4 = 22x = 2So x+y =2+1 =3Thus the order of the reaction = 3

the rate of reaction 2NO + CL2 ------> 2NOCL is doubled when the concentration of CL2 is doubled and it becomes 8 times when concentration of both NO and CL2 are doubled. deduce the order of the reaction.

the rate of reaction 2NO + CL₂ ------> 2NOCL is doubled when the concentration of CL₂ is doubled and it becomes 8 times when concentration of both NO and CL₂ are doubled. deduce the order of the reaction.
