The rate of the reaction is given by the rate equation rate=k [NO]2 [Cl2]
The value of the rate constant can be increased by:
Increasing the concentration of NO
Increasing the temperature
Increasing the concentration of the Cl2
Doing all of these
As we learnt in
Arrhenius Equation -
Arrhenius gave the quantitative dependence of rate constant on temperature by the Arrhenius equation.
- wherein
= Rate constant
The value of rate constant cannot be altered by changing concentration of reactants but by changing temperature, as given by arrhenius equation. As temperature rises, so does k.
therefore, solution is 2
Option 1)
Increasing the concentration of NO
incorrect
Option 2)
Increasing the temperature
correct
Option 3)
Increasing the concentration of the Cl2
incorrect
Option 4)
Doing all of these
incorrect
