- Gaseous NO2 decomposes at 573 K. NO2(g) NO(g) + O2(g) The concentration of NO2 was measured as a function of time. A graph of 1/[NO2] versus time gives a straight line with a slope of 1.1 L/mol s. What is the rate law for this reaction? What is the rate constant?arrow_forwardSucrose, a sugar, decomposes in acid solution to give glucose and fructose. The reaction is first-order in sucrose, and the rate constant at 25 C is k = 0.21 h1. If the initial concentration of sucrose is 0.010 mol/L, what is its concentration after 5.0 h?arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish-yellow gas that is soluble in water. In basic solution it gives ClO3 and ClO2 ions. 2ClO2(aq)+2OH(aq)ClO3(aq)+ClO2(aq)+H2O To obtain the rate law for this reaction, the following experiments were run and, for each, the initial rate of reaction of ClO2 was determined.
