Question

The reaction $2NO(g) + O_{2}(g)$ ⇌ $2NO_{2}(g)$ is of first order. If volume of reaction vessel is reduced to 1/3, the rate of reaction would be.

Answer 1

For following reaction, $2NO_{(g)} + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NO_{2}(g)$

When the volume of vessel change into $\frac{1}{3}$ then

concentration of reactant become three times.

The rate of reaction for first order reaction $\propto$ concentration. So rate of reaction will increases three times.
