The balanced equation for a given reaction is X + Y → P. The following data regarding initial reaction rates were collected in the lab. Fill in the blanks regarding this reaction by typing the correct number without units. Trial [X] (M) [Y] (M) Rate (M/s) 1 0.020 0.060 3.40 x 10–3 2 0.020 0.120 2.72 x 10–2 3 0.080 0.060 1.36 x 10–2 What is the order with respect to X? _______ What is the order with respect to Y? _______ What is the overall order of the reaction? _______ What is the rate constant, k, written to 3 significant figures? _______

Nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) decomposes in a second order reaction. At 425°C, the rate constant is {k} x 10–4 M–1min–1. If the initial concentration of NOCl is {M0} M, what will be the concentration after {t} minutes?
