In a study conducted at the same temperature, the following data for reaction producing nitrosyl bromide were collected.
Part C
What is the rate of the reaction when the initial concentration of NO is 0.400 M and that of Br2 is 0.235 M ?
| Trial | Initial [NO] (M) | Initial [Br2] (M) | Initial rate (M/s) | 
| 1 | 0.150 | 0.240 | 48 | 
| 2 | 0.300 | 0.240 | 191 | 
| 3 | 0.300 | 0.480 | 383 | 
Solution
from the given data rate law as foloows
rate = K [NO]2[Br2]
K = rate / [NO]2 [Br2]
K = 48 / [0.150]2 [0.240]
K = 48 / 0.0054
K = 8.89 x 103 M-2 s-1
now [NO] = 0.400 M
[Br2] = 0.235 M
rate = 8.89 x 103 [0.400]2 [0.235]
rate = 3.34 x 102 M/s
