Chapter 12, Problem 12.137MP
Values of Ea = 6.3 kJ/mol and A = 6.0 × 108 M−1 s−1 have been measured for the bimolecular reaction:
- (a) Calculate the rate constant at 25 °C.
- (b) The product of the reaction is nitrosyl fluoride. Its formula is usually written as NOF, but its structure is actually ONF. Is the ONF molecule linear or bent?
- (c) Draw a plausible transition state for the reaction. Use dashed lines to indicate the atoms that are weakly linked together in the transition state.
- (d) Why does the reaction have such a low activation energy?
