The rate of the reaction, $2 \mathrm{NO}+\mathrm{Cl}_2 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NOCl}$ is given by the rate equation, rate $=\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{NO}]^2\left[\mathrm{Cl}_2\right]$ The value of the rate constant can be increased by
  1. increasing the temperature
  2. increasing the concentration of NO
  3. increasing the concentration of the $\mathrm{Cl}_2$
  4. doing all of the above

Solution

Rate constant is only affected by temperature.
