The reactions :2CO(g)=O(2)9g)rarr 2CO(2)...

The reactions `:2CO(g)=O_(2)9g)rarr 2CO_(2)(g)` and `2NO(g)+O_(2)(g) rarr 2NO_(2)(g)` look to be similar. Yet the former is slower than latter at same temperature. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The former has lower activation energy than the latter reaction. Lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction.
