a)The order of reaction
The order of the reaction is given by the following expression as:
Here,
Substitute the values of
Substitute the values of
Hence, the overall order of the reaction is
b) The rate constant
The rate expression for the reaction is given as follows:
Substitute the values of
Hence, the rate constant for the reaction is
c) A plausible mechanism that is consistent to rate law.
The reaction between hydrogen with nitric oxide is as follows:
The plausible mechanism of the reaction, which isconsistent with the rate law, is given as follows:
The overall reaction is obtained as follows:
