We are given with the initial concentrations of both reactants, nitrous oxide and chlorine of 0.16 M and the value of the rate constant equal to M. The initial rate constant is required in this problem. The rate is expressed in k NO^2 * Cl2. Substituting 0.16 to both components, the initial rate is 0.12288.
