Question

consider the following reaction: no₂(g) + no(g) → n₂o(g) + o₂(g) part 1 of 2 what effect would increasing the concentration of no have on the reaction rate? select the single best answer. reaction rate stays the same. reaction rate increases. reaction rate decreases.

Explanation:

In chemical kinetics, the reaction rate is related to the concentration of reactants. For a reaction involving reactants (like \( \text{NO}_2 \) and \( \text{NO} \) here), increasing the concentration of a reactant (NO in this case) increases the frequency of effective collisions between reactant molecules. This leads to an increase in the reaction rate.

Answer:

Reaction rate increases.
