What would happen to the rate of a reaction with rate law rate = k [NO]^2[H2] if the concentration of NO were halved?
A. The rate would be four times larger.

B. The rate would also be halved.

C. The rate would be one-fourth.

D. The rate would be doubled.

The rate of a reaction would be one-fourth.

Given

Rate law-r₁ = k [NO]²[H2]

Required

The rate of a reaction

Solution

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.  

Can be formulated:  

Reaction: aA ---> bB  

or  

The concentration of NO were halved, so the rate :

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
