The initial concentration of NOCl in the second-order reaction 2NOClâ2NO+Cl2 is 0.878M. After 763,200 seconds, the concentration of NOCl is 0.83M. What is the rate constant k for the reaction? Report your answer in scientific notation rounded to two significant figures. Use the multiplication symbol when reporting your answer rather than the letter x. Provide your answer below: $$ 1/M s

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the differential rate law of a second-order reaction is:

Whereas A stands for NOCl and the corresponding integrated rate law is:

Thus, since we know the concentrations and the elapsed time, we compute the rate constant as shown below:

Best regards!

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
