Reaction: N2O (g) -> 2N2 (g) + O2 (g)

Performed at a temperature of 575 ° C across platinum in a zero-order reaction.

In the gas phase, the following findings were obtained:

Experiment

[N2O] M

Initial Rate, M/min

1

0.312

0.007418

2

1.248

0.1187

3

2.184

0.3635

1. write the rate law for the gas phase response from the findings in the table and find the rate constant.

2. The following mechanism was proposed for this response:

Fast equilibrium:  2N2O (g) <--> N4O2

Slow process:         N4O2 (g) ---> 2N2 (g) + O2 (g)

Get the rate law out of the mechanism. Is it suitable for the experimental results?

3. Suggest a suitable drawing to determine the order of the reaction and determine the speed of the reaction and explain the calculations:

    •  For the reaction on platinum
    •  For the reaction in the gas phase.
