Nitrosyl bromide decomposes by the reaction 2 NOBr(g) → 2 NO(g) + Br₂(g). Show that the following data are consistent with a second-order reaction and determine the second-order rate constant for the reaction. Students may do this by plotting the data three different ways. For each plot, time goes on the x-axis. A zero-order reaction is linear when [NOBr] on the y-axis. A first-order reaction is linear when In [NOBr] is on the y-axis.

Your laboratory is asked to analyze a water sample for a particular pesticide. You know from previous study that this pesticide degrades via a first order, irreversible reaction. The first order rate constant (k) for the reaction at 4 °C is 0.02 day¹. The activation energy for the reaction is known to be 10 kcal/mol. The standard preservation method for water samples containing this pesticide is to store the sample at 4 °C for no more than 24 hours prior to analysis. Calculate the fraction of the pesticide that remains in the sample after 24 hours of storage at 4 °C. b. A newly hired staff member collects a sample of the water but forgets to store it at 4 °C. Instead, they leave the sample in the trunk of their car (average temperature 35 °C) over the weekend. 60 hours later the sample is analyzed and found to contain 0.01 mg/L of the pesticide. What was the pesticide concentration in the water at the time the sample was taken?
