Question

The rate of the reaction ${2NO + Cl_2 -> 2NOCl}$ is given by the rate equation rate = ${ k[NO]^2[Cl_2]}$ . The value of the rate constant can be increased by -

• A. increasing the concentration of NO.
• B. increasing the concentration of the $\ce{ Cl_2}$
• C. increasing the temperature
• D. doing all of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

increasing the temperature

Answer 2

Rate constant is only affected by temperature.
