Peroxynitric acid (HOONO2) is an unstable molecule that decomposes to nitric acid and oxygen: 2HOONO2(aq) → 2HNO3(aq) + O2(g)When the concentration of peroxynitic acid is graphed against time, the resulting plot is curved, but if the logarithm of this concentration is plotted, we instead get a straight line. Based on this, which statement is true? a) This decay is a second order in peroxynitric acid. b) The slope of the straight-line graph is the rate constant. c) One needs the concentration of peroxynitric acid to calculate its half-life. d) The rate law appears to be of the form -Δ[HOONO2]/Δt = k[HOONO2].
In a steady-state approximation, it is assumed that the concentrations of the reactants remain constant and small throughout the reaction. the concentration of the product remains constant and large throughout the reaction. The concentration of the product remains unchanged and small throughout the reaction. the concentration of the reaction intermediates remains constant and small throughout the reaction. there is no more information that is needed for this question.
