Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Here the chemical reaction is:
Let’s assume the reaction to be ‘t’ order with respect to NO2 and ‘y’ order with respect to CO.
Then, rate law for experiment 1 in above reaction will be;
And, rate law for experiment 3 in above reaction will be;
Divide (1) by (2) to get value of ‘t’.
Thus, order with respect to CO is ZERO.
Now writing rate law for experiment 3 in above reaction will be;
