For the reaction 2 NO + O₂ = 2 NO₂, which is of 2nd order in NO and first order in O₂, the reaction rate constant os k_R= 2.8 x 10⁶ L²/mol²s. a) Specify the basic kinetic equation for this case. b) Assume an excess of O₂ and calculate the half time of creation for the following initial concentrations: C_NO(0)=0.0001 mol/L ; C_O2 (0) = 0.002 mol/L ; C_NO2 (0) = 0 mol/L

c) The equilibrium constant for the reaction was found to be K_eq = 6.4 x 105 L/mol. Calculate the corresponding backward reaction rate constant (with units!) and the equilibrium concentration of NO under the assumption that C_NO,eqC_NO (0).
