1. Consider the decomposition reaction of nitrosyl chloride(NOCl2):
2NOCl(g) → 2NO(g) + Cl2(g)
(a) Write the rate expressions in terms of the disappearance ofnitrosyl chloride (NOCl2) and the appearance of chlorine (Cl2).
(b) Calculate the average rate of decomposition reaction if theconcentration of NOCl2 is 0.0364 M at t = 0.245 minutes and 0.0107M at t = 3.432 minutes. Express the answer in M/s. [Hint: convertthe time to seconds.]
