Write a generalized rate equation for the reaction with variables for the order of reactions. Hint: do gaseous reaction use brackets or P?

Question

For the following gaseous reaction: 2 NO₂ +F₂ --> 2NO₂F

Answer 1

Gaseous reactions do not use brackets, but rather use parentheses and P.

For 2NO2(g) + F2(g) ==> 2NO2F(g), the generalized rate equation would be:

rate = k(PNO₂)^a(PF₂)^b or...

rate = k(NO₂)^a(F₂)^b
