In a study of the decomposition of nitrosyl bromide at 10 °C NOBrNO + ½ Br2 the concentration of NOBr was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of 1/[NOBr] versus time in secondsgave a straight line with a slope of 1.18 M-1 s-1 and a y-intercept of 14.3 M-1. Based on this plot, the reaction is _______ (zero,first, or second) order in NOBr and the rate constant for the reaction is __________ M-1 s-1
