Chapter 11, Problem 11.82PAE

Interpretation Introduction

(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:

$\text{O }+{\text{ O}}_{\text{2}} \to {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$

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:

$\text{O }+{\text{ O}}_{\text{2}} \to {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$

For the above reaction, the molecularity is $=\text{ 1 }+\text{ 1} =\text{ 2}$

Interpretation Introduction

(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:

$\text{O }+{\text{ O}}_{\text{2}} \to {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The requirement of the third molecule in the 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. 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:

$\text{O }+{\text{ O}}_{\text{2}} \to {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$
