 Nitrogen oxides ( NO and NO2 ) concentrations are measured in

Nitrogen oxides ( NO and NO2 ) concentrations are measured in an air quality monitoring study. NO2 level decreased from 15ppm to 3ppm in 3min with a particular light intensity to form NO. a) What is the first order rate constant for this reaction? b) What is the half-life of NO2 during this study? c) How many ppm of NO will be formed with a decrease in the NO2 concentration from 15 ppm to 3ppm ? d) What would the rate constant need to be changed to in order to decrease the time required to lower the NO2 concentrations from 9ppm to 4ppm in 1min
