Question:

In the reversible reaction, $2 NO _{2} \ce{->[{k_{1}}][{K_{2}}]} N _{2} O _{4}$ the rate of disappearance of $N O_{2}$ is equal to

Updated On: Apr 26, 2024
  • $\frac{2k_{1}}{k_{2}}\left[NO_{2}\right]^{2}$
  • $2k_{1}\left[NO_{2}\right]^{2} - 2k_{2}\left[N_{2}O_{4}\right]$
  • $2k_{1}\left[NO_{2}\right]^{2} - k_{2}\left[N_{2}O_{4}\right]$
  • $\left(2k_{1} - k_{2}\right) \left[NO_{2}\right]$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$2NO_{2} \ce{->[{k_1}][{k_2}]} N_{2}O_{4}$
Rate = $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d\left[NO_{2}\right]}{dt} = k_{1}\left[NO_{2}\right]^{2} - k_{2}\left[N_{2}O_{4}\right]$
$\therefore$ Rate of disappearance of $NO_{2}$ i.e.,
$-\frac{d\left[NO_{2}\right]}{dt} = 2k_{1}\left[NO_{2}\right]^{2} - k_{2}\left[N_{2}O_{4}\right]$

Rate of a Chemical Reaction

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

Consider the reaction A → B,

Rate of the reaction is given by,

Rate = −d[A]/ dt=+d[B]/ dt

Where, [A] → concentration of reactant A

[B] → concentration of product B

(-) A negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of A with time.

(+) A positive sign indicates an increase in the concentration of B with time.

Factors Determining the Rate of a Reaction:

There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:

  1. Temperature
  2. Catalyst
  3. Reactant Concentration
  4. Chemical nature of Reactant
  5. Reactant Subdivision rate
