Chapter 14, Problem 14.29QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The information regarding the combating of air pollution by catalytic converters by converting $\text{NO}$ into ${\text{N}}_2$ and ${\text{O}}_2$ is given. Various questions based on the rate of reaction for the given reaction have to be answered.

Concept introduction: The change in the concentration of reactant or product with time is known as rate of reaction and chemical kinetics deal with the rate of reaction.

To determine: The relation between the rate of formation of ${\text{N}}_2$ and ${\text{O}}_2$.
