The reaction between NO₂ and F₂ gives the following rate data at a certain temperature. What is the order of reaction with respect to NO₂ and F₂?

[NO₂] = 0.1 mol/dm³ [F₂] = 0.2 mol/dm³ Rate = 0.1 mol/dm³min

[NO₂] = 0.2 mol/dm³ [F₂] = 0.2 mol/dm³ Rate = 0.4 mol/dm³min

[NO₂] = 0.1 mol/dm³ [F₂] = 0.4 mol/dm³ Rate = 0.2 mol/dm³min

• First order with respect to NO₂ and First order with respect to F₂

• First order with respect to NO₂ and Second order with respect to F₂

• Second order with respect to NO₂ and First order with respect to F₂

• Second order with respect to NO₂ and Second order with respect to F₂

The rate of a reaction between two gases increases when the temperature is increased and a catalyst is added. Which statements are both correct for the effect of these changes on the reaction?

• Increasing the temperature causes collision frequency to increase and adding a catalyst causes activation energy to increase

• Increasing the temperature causes activation energy to increase and adding a catalyst does not cause any change in activation energy

• Increasing the temperature doesn't cause any change in activation energy and adding a catalyst causes activation energy to decrease

• Increasing the temperature causes activation energy to increase and adding a catalyst increases collision frequency

In the Haber process for the synthesis of ammonia, what effects does the catalyst have?

• Increases the rate of formation and amount of NH₃ formed
