Paper 2 · November 2008 · Reaction Kinetics

For $2H_2 + 2NO \rightarrow 2H_2O + N_2$ , doubling $[NO]$ at constant $[H_2]$ raised the rate from 0.024 to $0.096\ mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}$ . The order of reaction with respect to NO is

A0

B1

C2

D3

Explanation

The rate increased four-fold when the concentration was doubled, and

2^2 = 4

The reaction is first order with respect to $H_2$ and second order with respect to NO. The rate equation is
When $[H_2] = [NO] = 1\ mol\,dm^{-3}$ the rate is $0.024\ mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}$ and rate $= k[H_2][NO]^2$ . The rate constant is
For $2NO(g) + Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$ , raising $[NO]$ from 0.10 to $0.20\ mol\,dm^{-3}$ at constant $[Cl_2]$ raised the initial rate from 0.0001 to $0.0004\ mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}$ . The order with respect to NO is
The iodine liberated in an experiment required $15.0\ cm^3$ of $0.03\ mol\,dm^{-3}$ sodium thiosulphate. The number of moles of thiosulphate used is
The solubility of barium hydroxide at 25 °C is $0.24\ g\,dm^{-3}$ . Given that $M_r[Ba(OH)_2] = 171$ , the molar concentration of the saturated solution, in $mol\,dm^{-3}$ , is
