Question

For the formation of 1 mol of nitrosyl chloride at a given temperature, ?H = 40 kJ.
NO(g) + Cl2(g) ? NOCl(g)
The activation energy for this reaction is 84 kJ/mol. What is the activation energy for the reverse reaction?

40 kJ/mol

44 kJ/mol

84 kJ/mol

124 kJ/mol

124 kJ/mol

Rate = k1[N2O5]

Rate = k2[NO2][NO3]

Rate = k3[NO][N2O5]

Rate = k1k2[N2O5][NO2][NO3]

Rate = k1k2k3[N2O5]2

A proposed mechanism for the decomposition of N2O5 is as follows:
N2O5 NO2 + NO3 slow step
NO2 + NO3 NO2 + O2 + NO fast step
NO + N2O5 3NO2 fast step
What is the rate law predicted by this mechanism?

Rate = k1[N2O5]

Rate = k2[NO2][NO3]

Rate = k3[NO][N2O5]

Rate = k1k2[N2O5][NO2][NO3]

Rate = k1k2k3[N2O5]2

Explanation / Answer

1)?H = activation energy of forward reaction - activation energy of backward reaction

or, -40 = 84  - activation energy of backward reaction

or,  -activation energy of backward reaction = 124 kJ/mole

2) Rate = k1[N2O5]
