Pre$-$Lab Assignment

Do not work on this pre$-$lab assignment until you have read through the whole experiment and have reviewed the appropriate sections of the textbook. Then complete the pre$-$lab questions before going to your lab class. Show your work fully and clearly.

What four factors that affect reaction rates will be investigated in this experiment?

Gaseous $N{O}_2$ and $O_3$ react to form gaseous $N_2{O}_5$ and $O_2.$

a$.$ Write the balanced reaction equation.

b$.$ If it is known that the reaction is producing $O_2$ at the rate of $300$ molecules per second, determine the rate at which the reaction is consuming $($i$)N{O}_2$ and $($ii$)O_3.$

c$.$ The reaction is first order in $N{O}_2$ and first order in $O_3.$ Write the rate equation.
