(a)
Interpretation:
Molecularity of production of ozone should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The ozone is produced by the reaction of nascent oxygen with the molecular oxygen present in the air as follows:
Molecularity of a reaction is the sum of the coefficient of all the reactants taking place in a reaction to produce a product and can be shown as follows:
For the above reaction, the molecularity is
(b)
Interpretation:
Production of ozone is fast or slow should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The ozone is produced by the reaction of nascent oxygen with the molecular oxygen present in the air. There are so many sources to produce nascent oxygen and after the reaction of this nascent oxygen with molecular oxygen, it results in the formation of ozone as follows:
(c)
Interpretation:
The requirement of the third molecule in the production of ozone should be identified.

- . Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forwardDefine stability from both a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective. Give examples to show the differences in these concepts.arrow_forwardThe label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?arrow_forward
- Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forwardSubstances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?arrow_forwardExplain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.arrow_forward
- The following equation represents a reversible decomposition: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?arrow_forwardBacteria cause milk to go sour by generating lactic acid. Devise an experiment that could measure the activation energy for the production of lactic acid by bacteria in milk. Describe how your experiment will provide the information you need to determine this value. What assumptions must be made about this reaction?arrow_forwardConsider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.arrow_forward
- The reaction for the Haber process, the industrial production of ammonia, is N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) Assume that under certain laboratory conditions ammonia is produced at the rate of 6.29 ×10-5 molL-1s-1. At what rate is nitrogen consumed? At what rate is hydrogen consumed?arrow_forward6b onlyarrow_forwardThe decomposition reaction on N2O5 in carbon tetrachloride is 2 N2 O5-----> 4NO2 + O2. The rate law is first order in N2O5. At 64 °C the rate constant is 4.82 X 10-3s-1 (a) write the rate law for the reaction.
