Solution
The correct option is C On doubling the concentration of H2, keeping the concentration of NO constant, the rate will become double Slowest step is rate determining, ∴ Rate =k[NO]2[H2] ∴ On doubling the concentration of H2 without changing the concentration of NO, the rate will become double.
