Nitrogen Pentoxide Decomposition Consider the decomposition of nitrogen pentoxide into nitrogen dioxide and oxygen, N2O5 → 2 NO2 + ½ O2 R1 This is not an elementary reaction and its mechanism consists of the following set of elementary reactions. N2O5 → NO3 + NO2 R1a NO2 + NO3 → N2O5 R1b NO2 + NO3 → NO2 + O2 + NO R1c NO + NO3 → 2NO2 R1d The rate constants for the reactions R1a, R1b, R1c and R1d are denoted as k1, k2, k3 and k4, respectively. Here, NO and NO3 are regarded as the intermediate species. (a) Derive the rate expression for the overall reaction R1 from its mechanism (R1a-d) using the pseudo- steady state approximation. (b) What is the overall order of the reaction? Explanation: Pseudo steady state is similar to the rate determination done for catalytic reactions

Iodine atoms will combine to form I2 in liquid hexane solvent with a rate constant of 1.5×1010L/mol⋅s. The reaction is second order in I . Since the reaction occurs so quickly, the only way to study the reaction is to create iodine atoms almost instantaneously, usually by photochemical decomposition of I2. Suppose a flash of light creates an initial [I] concentration of 1.00×10−2 M How long will it take for 97% of the newly created iodine atoms to recombine to form I2? Express your answer using two significant figures.
The half-life of a reaction, t/2. is the time it takes for the reactant concentration A| to decrease by half. For example, after one half-life the concentration falls from the initial concentration [Alo to [Alo/2, after a second half-life to [A]o/4, after a third half-life to [Alo/8. and so on. on.
