The oxidation of NO (released in small amounts in the exhaust of automobiles) produces the brownish-red gas NO2, which is a component of urban air pollution:
2NO + O2 -> 2NO2
The rate law for the reaction is:
rate = k[NO]^2[O2]
At 25°C, k = 7.1 * 10^9 L^2 mol^-2 s^-1
What would be the rate of the reaction if [NO] = 0.0030 mol L^-1 and [O2] = 0.027 mol L^-1?
