\(2 NO +2 H _{2} \rightarrow N _{2}+2 H _{2} O\) The above reaction has been studied at \(800^{\circ} C\). The related data are given in the table below.
Reaction serial number Initial pressure of \(H _{2}\) / \(kPa\) Initial Pressure of \(NO /\) \(kPa\) Initial rate \(\left(\frac{- dp }{ dt }\right) /( kPa / s )\)
\(1\) \(65.6\) \(40.0\) \(0.135\)
\(2\) \(65.6\) \(20.1\) \(0.033\)
\(3\) \(38.6\) \(65.6\) \(0.214\)
\(4\) \(19.2\) \(65.6\) \(0.106\)
 The order of the reaction with respect to \(NO\) is \(...........\) 

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On decreasing pressure of \(NO\) by a factor of '\(2\)' the rate of reaction decreases by a factor of '\(4\)'. \(\therefore\) Order of reaction w.r.t. 'NO' \(=2\)
