Nitrous oxide, NO, decomposes exothermically into nitrogen gas and oxygen gas. When graphing [NO] versus time, a straight line can be drawn through the experimental points. From this information, determine the reaction order.

Zero-Order

Explanation:

The exothermic decaying of nitrous oxide at 575° C will lead to as follows:

→

Hot platinum wire in the above reaction would function as a catalyst in the zero-order. However, if the reaction is considered in the gaseous phase, it will be more inclined towards second-order.

In the given scenario( → ), the reactant molecules of Nitrous oxide are restricted to the ones which have linked themselves to the catalyst's surface. Once this limited surface is filled, the extra molecules of gas would remain vacant until the previously attached molecules with the surface are decayed entirely.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
