Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) dissociates into nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen (O2) as follows: 2NO2→2NO+O2 If the rate of decrease of concentration of NO2 is 6.0×10−12molL−1s−1. What will be the rate of increase of concentration of O2?
A
3×10−12molL−1s−1

Solution
The correct option is B3×10−12molL−1s−1 For the reaction, 2NO2→2NO+O2 −12d[NO2]dt=12d[NO]dt=d[O2]dt −d[NO2]dt=6×10−12molL−1s−1 d[O2]dt=3×10−12molL−1s−1.
