`2CO(g) + O_(2)(g) to 2CO_(2)(g) , 2NO(g) + O_(2)(g) to 2NO_(2)(g)` . Which is relatively faster ? Why ?

Explanation

`2NO(g) + O_(2)(g) to 2NO(g)` is relatively faster . In both the ractions, the stoichiometry is same and number of bonds transformed is also same . The number of electrons shared in CO molecule is 6 and NO molecule is 5. Breaking bond in NO molecules is relatively easy than the in CO molecule . Further NO has unpared election and thus more reactive .
