Answer to Question #237780 in General Chemistry for Ket

Question

Based on Gultberg and Wagge's law for the speed of chemical reactions at constant temperatures, when the NO₂ concentration increases while the CO concentration is kept constant in the reaction CO (g) + NO₂ (g) -> CO₂ (g) + NO (g) reaction speed?

Answer 1

Generally, the chemical reactions whose mechanisms are of interest to chemists are those that occur in solution and involve the breaking and reforming of covalent bonds between atoms—covalent bonds being those in which electrons are shared between atoms.
