15. Chemical Kinetics

Given the following chemical reaction, A → B. If the concentration of A is doubled the rate increases by a factor of 2.83, what is the order of the reaction with respect to A.

The data below were collected for the following reaction:CH₃Cl (g) + 3 Cl₂ (g) → CCl₄ (g) + 3 HCl (g)

Calculate the value and units for the rate constant k.

N₂O (g) → N₂ (g) + ½ O₂ (g)

Determine if the following mechanism is valid.

Step 1: NOCl (g) ⇌ NO (g) + Cl (g)         (fast)

Step 2: NOCl (g) + Cl (g) → NO (g) + Cl₂ (g)          (slow)

Consider the rate law. rate=𝑘[a]^𝑥 determine the value of 𝑥 if the rate doubles when [a] is doubled.
