Question

For the reaction system:

2NO(g) + O₂(g) $\to$ 2NO₂(g) volume is suddenly reduce to half its value by increasing the pressure on it. If the reaction is of first order with respect to O₂ and second order with respect to NO, the rate of reaction will

diminish to one-eighth of its initial value

increase to eight times of its initial value

increase to four times of its initial value

diminish to one-fourth of its initial value
