If the volume of the vessel in which the reaction 2 N O + O 2 → 2 N O 2 is occurring is diminished to 1 / 3 rd of its initial volume. The rate of the reaction will be increased by

Step-by-step solution

For a given reaction 2 N O g + O 2 g ⇌ 2 N O 2 g Rate of reaction = k [ N O ] 2 [ O 2 ] Rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of the compound or inversely proportional to the volume of the vessel. i.e., C ∝ n V If volume of vessel is reduced by 1 / 3 rd of its initial value, then concentration of compound is increased by 3 times and consequently the rate of reaction increases by 27 times.
