Problem

The following data were obtained for the reaction of

\text{NO}(\text{g})

with

\text{O}_2(\text{g})

to form

\text{NO}_2(\text{g})

25^\circ\text{C}

Experiment	$[\text{NO}] / \text{mol dm}^{-3}$	$[\text{O}_2] / \text{mol dm}^{-3}$	Initial rate / $\text{mol dm}^{-3} \text{s}^{-1}$
1	0.30	0.20	$2.0 \times 10^{-3}$
2	0.30	0.40	$4.0 \times 10^{-3}$
3	0.60	0.80	$3.2 \times 10^{-2}$

Calculate the order with respect to the two reactants and write the rate equation for the reaction.
