CBSEENCH12006379

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with fluorine (F2) to form nitryl fluoride (NOzF) according to the reaction

2NO2(g)+F2(g)2NO2F(g)

Write the instantaneous rate of reaction in terms of
(i) rate of formation of NO2 ,F
(ii) rate of disappearance of NO2
(iii) rate of disappearance of F2.

Solution

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with fluorine (F2) to form nitryl fluoride (NOzF) according to the reaction

2NO2(g)+F2(g)2NO2F(g)

(i) Rate of formation of NO2F(r) = d(NO2F)dt.
(ii) Rate of disappearance of NO2(r) = -d(NO2)dt.
(iii) Rate of disappearance of F2(r) = -d(F2)dt.
