Question

Nitrogen dioxide reacts bimolecularly in the gas phase to give

    NO2  +  NO2 +  ---->    NO +NO +  O2.

The temperature dependence of the second-order rate constant for the rate law d[P]/dt = k[NO2]2 is given below. What are the Values of the steric factor P and the reactive cross-section for the reaction? Take σ = 0.60 nm2.

T / K 600 700 800 1000
k / (cm3 mol−1 s−1) 4.6 ✕ 102 9.7 ✕ 103 1.3 ✕ 105 3.1 ✕ 106
