JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 27th July Morning Shift - No. 15)

$$2 \mathrm{NO}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{N}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$

The above reaction has been studied at $$800^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$. The related data are given in the table below

Reaction serial number Initial Pressure of $${H_2}/kPa$$ Initial Pressure of $$NO/kPa$$ Initial rate $$\left( {{{ - dp} \over {dt}}} \right)/(kPa/s)$$
1 65.6 40.0 0.135
2 65.6 20.1 0.033
3 38.6 65.6 0.214
4 19.2 65.6 0.106

The order of the reaction with respect to NO is ___________.

Answer
2

Explanation

Let the rate of reaction ( $r$ ) is as

$$ \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{K}[\mathrm{NO}]^{n}\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]^{\mathrm{m}} $$

From $1^{\text {st }}$ data

$$ 0.135=\mathrm{K}[40]^{\mathrm{n}} \cdot(65.6)^{\mathrm{m}}\quad\quad...(1) $$

From $2^{\text {nd }}$ data

$$ 0.033=\mathrm{K}(20.1)^{\mathrm{n}} \cdot(65.6)^{\mathrm{m}}\quad\quad...(2) $$

On dividing equation (1) by equation (2)

$$ \begin{aligned} &\frac{0.135}{0.033}=\left(\frac{40}{20.1}\right)^{n} \\\\ &4=(2)^{n} \\\\ &\therefore n=2 \\\\ &\therefore \text { Order of reaction w.r.t. NO is } 2 . \end{aligned} $$
