7. One reaction involved in the formation of smog is:
NO(g) + O3(g) ==> O2(g) + NO2(g)
The rate of the reaction can be calculated using the following equation:
rate = k[O3]^x[NO]^y where x and y are both equal to 1.
a) What would be the effect on the rxn rate if the concentration of ozone is doubled?
b) What would be the effect on the rxn rate if the concentration of nitric acid is tripled?
c) What would be the effect on the rxn rate if the concentration of ozone is doubled and the concentration of nitric oxide is tripled?
