Question

The rate of the reaction $2NO+C{l}_2\to 2NOCl$ is given by the rate equation. rate = $k\left[NO{]}^2\right[C{l}_2]$
The value of the rate constant can be increased by:

• A. increasing the concentration of NO.
• B. increasing the concentration of the $C{l}_2$
• C. increasing the temperature
• D. doing all of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

increasing the temperature

Rate constant is only affected by the temperature, it does not get affected by the increase in concentration of $NO$ and $C{l}_2$ .Hence the answer is increasing the temperature
