Chapter 14.3, Problem 1RC

The reaction NO(g) + 1/2 Cl₂(g) → NOCl(g) is first-order in [Cl₂] and second-order with respect to [NO]. Under a given set of conditions, the initial rate of this reaction is 620 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L ∙ s. What is the rate of this reaction if the concentration of NO is doubled and the concentration of Cl₂ is reduced to half the original value?

1. (a) 6.20 ×10⁻⁶ mol/L ∙ s
2. (b) 124 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L ∙ s
3. (c) 2.48 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L ∙ s
4. (d) 4.96 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L ∙ s
