For the reaction,$NO_{2(g)} + CO_{(g)} \longrightarrow NO_{(g)} + CO_{2(g)}$,the rate of reaction is proportional to the square of $[NO_2]$ and independent of $[CO]$. What is the rate law equation?

The rate constant for the reaction $2N_2O_5 \to 4NO_2 + O_2$ is $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \, sec^{-1}$. If the rate is $2.40 \times 10^{-5} \, M \, sec^{-1}$,then the concentration of $N_2O_5$ (in $M$) is?

The reaction $CH_{3}COF + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH + HF$ is studied under two conditions:
Condition $I$: $[H_{2}O]_{0} = 1.00 \ M$,$[CH_{3}COF]_{0} = 0.01 \ M$
Condition $II$: $[H_{2}O]_{0} = 0.02 \ M$,$[CH_{3}COF]_{0} = 0.80 \ M$
Time $(t)$ min (Condition $I$) / $[CH_{3}COF]$ $M$ Time $(t)$ min (Condition $II$) / $[H_{2}O]$ $M$
$0$ / $0.01000$ $0$ / $0.0200$
$10$ / $0.00867$ $10$ / $0.0176$
$20$ / $0.00735$ $20$ / $0.0156$
