Answer:
A) As the initial concentration of H₂ is increased, the reaction rate also increases.
B) Yes, [H₂] is part of the rate law.
Explanation:
For the reaction:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{H$_2$}_\text{(g)} + 2\text{NO}_\text{(g)} \longrightarrow \text{H$_2$O}_\tex{(g)} + \text{N$_2$O}_\text{(g)}[/tex]
The rate law will have the form:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Rate} = k\left[\text{H$_2$}\right]^n\left[\text{NO}\right]^m[/tex]
Where n and m are the respective order of reactions.
From the table, we can see that as the concentration of H₂ increases, the instantaneous rate also increases.
Therefore, [H₂] is indeed part of the rate law. If it isn't, changing its concentration will have no effect on the instantaneous rate of the reaction.
