Question

Nitrogen dioxide reacts bimolecularly in the gas phase to give

NO_{2 +}NO_{2 + ---->} NO +NO + O₂.

The temperature dependence of the second-order rate constant for the rate law d[P]/dt = k[NO₂]² is given below. What are the Values of the steric factor P and the reactive cross-section for the reaction? Take σ = 0.60 nm².

T / K	600	700	800	1000
k / (cm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹)	4.6 ✕ 10²	9.7 ✕ 10³	1.3 ✕ 10⁵	3.1 ✕ 10⁶
