Assume that the formation of nitrogen dioxide: 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g) is an elementary reaction. (a)

Question:

Assume that the formation of nitrogen dioxide:
2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)
is an elementary reaction.
(a) Write the rate law for this reaction.
(b) A sample of air at a certain temperature is contaminated with 2.0 ppm of NO by volume. Under these conditions, can the rate law be simplified? If so, write the simplified rate law.
(c) Under the conditions described in (b), the half-life of the reaction has been estimated to be 6.4 × 103 min. What would the half-life be if the initial concentration of NO were 10 ppm?
