Nitrogen dioxide reacts with carbon monoxide by the following overall equation.
NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g)
At a particular temperature, the reaction is second order in NO2 and zero order in CO. The rate constant is 0.515 L/(mol·s). How much heat energy evolves per second initially from 3.11 L of reaction mixture containing 0.0250 M NO2? See Appendix C for data. Assume the enthalpy change is constant with temperature.
