Chapter 12, Problem 12QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The picture of the effective collision of ${\text{2 NO}}_2$ molecules to produce ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$ is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Every reaction in this universe follows a particular pace. This particular rate at which reaction occurs is known as the rate of reaction. The conditions that affect the rate of reaction are temperature, reactant concentration, surface area, and catalyst.

For the formation of a particular product, the reactants have to collide in particular orientation or effective orientation and at the same time they have to cross the energy barrier and to cross the barrier, they require activation energy.
