The reaction 2H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2H2O(g) is feasible. How is that hydrogen and oxygen mixture allowed to stand at room temperature shows no formation of water at all?

The activation energy of the reaction is very high at room temperature, hence no combination of H2 and O2 is possible at room temperature.

    Why is instantaneous rate preferred over average rate of reaction?
    Answer
    State any one condition under which a bimolecular reaction may be kinetically of first order.
    Answer
    The rate constant of a reaction is 3 x 102 h–1. What is the order of reaction?
    Answer
    For reaction NO2 + CO → CO2 + NO, the rate law is Rate = k[NO2]2. How many molecules of CO are involved in slowest process?
