The conversion of NO 2 to NO and O 2 can occur through the following reaction: NO

Question:

The conversion of NO2 to NO and O2 can occur through the following reaction:

NO2(g) → 2NO(g) + O2(g)

The activation energy for this reaction is 111 kJ mol−1 and the preexponential factor is 2.0 × 10−9 M−1 s−1; assume that these quantities are temperature independent.

a. What is the rate constant for this reaction at 298 K?

b. What is the rate constant for this reaction at the tropopause where T = 225 K?
