Homework Statement
The rate of the reaction was studied at a certain temperature.
O(g) + NO2(g) --> NO(g) + O2(g)
In the first set of experiments, NO2 was in large excess, at a concentration of 1.0 * 10^ 13 molecules/cm3 with the following data collected.
time (s) [O] (atoms/cm3)
0 ......2400
0.01.....1200
0.02.....600
0.03......0
Part (a). Find the reaction order with respect to O. (Explain with graphs)
Part (b) Find the rate constant with respect to O.
Homework Equations
Rate = K[A]
First Order Reaction Integrated Rate Law: ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0
The Attempt at a Solution
I want to know how to transform the graph/data set into a linear line to find the reaction order (I think it is first order). I think I ln[O] and plot it against time (s) to achieve a linear graph for a first order graph. How do I do that? Do I need to convert atoms/cm3 to mol/L? I tried doing that and it is not looking right. Help would be appreciated!
