Imagine a closed room filled with some concentration of carbon monoxide (CO). You strike the glass window with a stone and break it. The clean air enters into the room and starts diluting the CO. It was observed that just after 4.2hrs, the concentration of CO was reduced by 95 percent. What is the estimated first-order rate constant for CO removal (due to dilution by incoming air) in this case if no chemical reaction is occurring?

Measuring total pressure is a convenient way to monitor gas reaction: 2NOCl(g) → 2NO(g) + Cl2(g). The rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of the reactant, which is proportional to the partial pressure of the reactant. Derive a relation connecting its velocity above reaction with initial pressure, P0, and total pressure, Pt, at time t.(Hint: Assume the reaction is 2nd order. Make a table with initial (t0) and final values (t) of the moles of NOCl, NO, and Cl2, and construct the ideal gas equations for both cases. Use the ideal gas equation for t0 so that calculate the initial concentration of NOCl and substitute this value into the equation of ideal gases for t)
