Not all XO molecules such as NO, survive long enough to react with oxygen atoms; some are photochemically decomposed to X and atomic oxygen, which then reacts with O, to re-form ozone. Write out the three steps (including one for ozone destruction) for this process and add them together to deduce the net reaction. Does this sequence destroy ozone overall, or is it a null cycle, which is defined as one that involves a sequence of steps with no chemical change overall?

6. (Show your work) Some damage to the ozone layer of the upper atmosphere might involve the reaction NO + 03 NO2 + O2 The reaction is first order in each reactant and the rate constant is equal to 1.3 x 106 L/(mol s) at 298 K. If the initial concentrations of NO and O3 are both equal to 1.00 x 10-6 mol/L, find the concentrations of NO at t = 2.00 s.

Suppose a quantity is described by the function y(t) = 30,000e-0.05t, where t is measured in years. Find the half-life of the quantity.
Two gases X and Y are found in the atmosphere in only trace amounts because they decompose quickly. When exposed to ultraviolet light the half-life of X is 15. min, while that of Y is 1.75 h. Suppose an atmospheric scientist studying these decompositions fills a transparent 10.0 L flask with X and Y and exposes the flask to UV light. Initially, the partial pressure of X is 50.0% greater than the partial pressure of Y. As both gases decompose, will the partial pressure of X ever fall below the partial pressure of Y? If you said yes, calculate the time it takes the partial pressure of X to fall below the partial pressure of Y. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. 0 yes no min x10 X 010 Ś 00c 18 Ar DI
Scientists working in Lake Apoka calculating half-lives of pollutants called volatile organic compounds, often measure a transport rate constant. In one study conducted in the fall of 2010, researchers from the University of Florida found the half-life of a particular pollutant in the lake when the concentration measured 0.835 M was 37.3 days. Assuming that the process is first order, calculate the rate constant of this process.
