Let's spend some time with this reaction of NO2, an important compound in atmospheric chemistry (it's a pollutant and contributes to the formation of acid rain), in manufacturing explosives, and in fueling rockets: 2NO,(9) – 2NO(g) + 0;(9) It follows this reaction mechanism: NO,+NO 2NO+0, 2NO, Progress of reaction 1. Indicate the activation energy for the overall reaction on the graph. (You may want to use a line for the sake of clarity.) 2. Write the elementary reactions that make up the reaction mechanism. 3. What would you propose as the rate law for this reaction? Energy

Given that the reaction 2 H2(g) + O2(g)-> 2 H₂O(g) is exothermic, which of the following is true of the reaction 2 H₂O(g) 2 H2(g) + O2(g)? Its activation energy is lower than that of 2 H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2 H₂O(g) Its activation energy is the same as that of 2 H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2 H₂O(g). Its activation energy is higher than that of 2 H2(g) + O2(g) ->2 H₂O(g)- O There is no relationship between its activation energy and that of 2 H2(g) + O2(g)-> 2 H₂O(g).
A student collected conducted 6 kinetics experiments for one raction by holding the concentrations of all the rewctants and catalyst constant and varying the temperature. After determining the rate constant for this reaction at the 6 different temperatures, an Arrhenius PLot was made. The graph resulted in a straight line. The equation for the straight line was: y=-3,543.81 x +14.326. What is the activation energy(in joules/mol) for this reaction at 300C
