The correct answer is: 27 times
For a given reaction 2NOg+O2g2NO2g
Rate of reaction =k[NO]2[O2]
Rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of the compound or inversely proportional to the volume of the vessel.
i.e.,
CnV
If volume of vessel is reduced by 1/3 rd of its initial value, then concentration of compound is increased by 3 times and consequently the rate of reaction increases by 27 times.
