Question

Carbon monoxide reacts with O2 to form CO2:2CO(g)+O2(g)2CO2(g).
The information regarding on this reaction is given in the table below.
[CO]mol/L
[O2]mol/L
Rate of reaction (mol/L min)
0.02
0.02
4×105
0.04
0.02
1.6×104
0.02
0.04
8×105
What is the value for the rate constant for the reaction in proper related unit?

Solution

From careful observation of the given data, it can be concluded that by doubling the concentration of CO alone the rate of the reaction increases 4 times, therefore order with respect to CO is two. Doubling the concentration of O2 alone doubles the rate of the reaction, therefore order with respect to B is one.

Therefore its a third-order reaction so Rate=k[CO]2[O2]1

4×105=k×(0.02)2×0.02

k=5
