Rate Laws in Chemical Kinetics

These flashcards cover the key concepts of rate laws and the orders of reactions as discussed in the lecture notes.

What is the rate law for the reaction with respect to NO?

Rate = k[NO]^1[NO2]^x, where x is the order with respect to NO2.

Why is O2 not included in the final rate law?

Because O2 is zero order, meaning it does not affect the rate of the reaction.

What order is the reaction with respect to NO?

First order.

What order is the reaction with respect to NO2?

First order.

What does zero order imply about a reactant's effect on the rate of reaction?

The reactant does not affect the reaction rate.
