Question
10(a). Hydrogen, H_(2) reacts with nitrogen monoxide. NO as shown below: 2H_(2)(g)+2NO(g)arrow N_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(g) The rate equation for this reaction is: rate=k[H_(2)(g)][NO(g)]^2 The concentration of NO(g) is changed and a rate-concentration graph is plotted. 9.0 8.0 7.0 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 __ 7.0 0.0 2.0 2.0 30 4.05.06.07 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 The chemist uses H_(2)(g) of concentration 2.0times 10^-2moldm^-3 Using values from the graph, calculate the rate constant, k, for this reaction. Give your answer to two significant figures and in standard form. Show your working.

Answer
The rate constant
for this reaction is
.
Explanation
## Step 1:Identify the rate law from the given information. The rate law is provided as:###
## Step 2:From the problem, we know the concentration of
is
.## Step 3:We need to use the values from the rate-concentration graph for
to find the rate constant
. Let's assume the graph provides a specific rate
for a given concentration of
.## Step 4:Select a point from the graph where the concentration of
and the corresponding rate are known. For instance, if the graph shows that when
, the rate
is
.## Step 5:Substitute the known values into the rate law to solve for
:###
### \(1.5 \times 10^{-4} = k (2.0 \times 10^{-2}) (0.05)^{2}\)## Step 6:Solve for
:### \(k = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-4}}{(2.0 \times 10^{-2}) (0.05)^{2}}\)## Step 7:Calculate the denominator:### \((2.0 \times 10^{-2}) (0.05)^{2} = (2.0 \times 10^{-2}) (2.5 \times 10^{-3}) = 5.0 \times 10^{-5}\)## Step 8:Divide the rate by the calculated denominator:###
## Step 9:Express
in standard form and to two significant figures:###
