A minor route for ozone destruction in the ozone hole involves Mechanism II with bromine as X' and chlorine as X (or vice-versa). The CIO and BrO free radical molecules produced in these processes then collide with each other and rearrange their atoms to eventually yield O, and atomic chlorine and bromine. Write out the mechanism for this process, and add up the steps to determine the overall reaction.

I have no idea how to enter these into my calculater to get the correct answer. The rearrangement of cyclopropane to propene at 500 °C(CH2)3CH3CH=CH2is first order in (CH2)3.During one experiment it was found that when the initial concentration of (CH2)3 was .179M, the concentration of (CH2)3 dropped to .0292 M after 1829s had passed.Based on this experiment, the rate constant for the reaction is ________ s-1.
In a study of the decomposition of nitrous oxide at 565 °CN2O(g)N2(g) + ½ O2(g)the following data were obtained: [N2O], M 2.10 1.05 0.525 0.263 seconds 0 602 1.81×103 4.21×103 Hint: It is not necessary to graph these data.(1)The observed half life for this reaction when the starting concentration is 2.10 M is s and when the starting concentration is 1.05 M is s.(2)The average (1/[N2O]) / t from t = 0 s to t = 602 s is M-1 s-1.The average (1/[N2O]) / t from t = 602 s to t = 1.81×103 s is M-1 s-1.(3)Based on these data, the rate constant for this order reaction is M-1 s-1.
(c) At low temperatures, reaction (3) is replaced by the following reaction forming a stable dimer of CIO, which itself is rapidly photolysed to form Cl atoms: CIO + CIO Cl₂O2 2C1 + O2 Describe briefly, in qualitative terms, the effect that this reaction will have on the observed rate of ozone destruction. Note that Ka[Cl2] is the rate at which photons are absorbed by Cl2, and is often referred to as la.
(a) In the reaction mechanisms given, there are some chemical species which will get produced in one step and get consumed in the other step and that are not in reactants nor in products of the total reaction. Such species are known as intermediates of a reaction as the name suggests. Therefore, in mechanism 1, the intermediates are (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-, (CH3)2CH+. and in mechanism 2: (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-. These ions are neither reactants nor products of the given total equation.
1. Reaction Kinetics and Dimensional Analysis (a) Consider an example first-order reaction of the nuclear decay of element A: A+B+C where B and C are the products of the decay. The reaction is said to be first-order because, at a given time, the rate at which the molar concentration of A, denoted as [A] (mol/L), decreases is proportional to the molar concentration of A at that time: d[A] dt = -k[A] Here, k, the proportionality constant, is known as the rate constant. Let time be measured in seconds. Determine the units for the rate constant k. b) The dissociation of hydrogen iodide (a.k.a., HI) is a second-order process, which means d[HI] dt = -k[HI]² Let time be measured in seconds. Determine the units for the rate constant k for this particul reaction.
Ozone in the stratosphere can be depleted by the following reactions involving CI atoms: Step 1 (fast): CI + O3 <--> CIO + O2 Step 2 (slow): CIO + O -> CI + O2 (a) What is the rate law according to this mechanism? (b) Based on the rate law from part (b), what should be the units of the observed rate constant, k? Use time units of seconds.
In a study of the rearrangement of cyclopropane to propene at 500 °C (CH2)3 CH3CH=CH2 the concentration of (CH2)3 was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[(CH2)3] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -9.38×104 s1 and a y-intercept of -1.57 . Based on this plot, the reaction is O order in (CH2)3 and the half life for the first reaction is seconds.
The mechanism for the reaction described by the equation CH,NC(g) CH, CN(g) is suggested to be k1 (1) A(g) + M(g) = A" (g) + M(g) k-1 k2 * (2) А (g) → B(g) where A(g) is CH, NC(g), M(g) is any gas molecule, A* (g) is CH,NC*(g) (an energized gas molecule), and B(g) is CH,CN(g). Assuming that [A* ] is governed by steady-state conditions, derive the rate law for the production of CH, CN(g) in terms of [A], [M], and the appropriate k values.

It may not surprise you to know that products can show up in the rate law. When the product(s) is(are) a positive order, we describe the rate law as autocatalytic. For example, under conditions of high nitric acid concentrations, this reaction: HNO, + H₂C(OH): → HNO; + HCOOH + H₂O has a rate law: rate = k [H.C(OH).] [HNO₂] Given a rate constant of 0.0255 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and initial concentrations [HNO,] = 5.0 mol dm-3, [H.C(OH).]. = 150 mmol dm-3, [HNO:]. = 8.2 mmol dm-3, how long will it take for the methanediol concentration to fall to 52 mmol dm-3?
