a. Nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitric oxide and oxygen via the reaction:
2 NO2--> 2NO + O2
In a particular experiment [No2] drops from .0100 to .0026 M is 150 sec. Calculate the rate of disappearance of NO2 and the rate of formation of O2 for this period.
b. What is the rate of formation of NO2 and O2 when given the rate of decomposition of N2O2 is 5.5 * 10 ^- 4 M/s?
2 N2O2 --> 4 NO2 + O2
