Experiments show that the following redox reaction is second-order overall:
NO2(g) + CO(g) --> NO(g) + CO2(g)
In the reaction, the initial [NO2] is twice the initial [CO]. What is the ratio of the initial rate to the rate at 50% completion?
In the solution they say: [NO2]i = 2[CO]i
and then at 50% completion they say: [CO] = 1/2[CO]i and [NO2] = 0.75[NO2]i
where they getting the 1/2 and 0.75 from?
