Chapter 14, Problem 14.108SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The molecularity and rate law for the following elementary reaction needs to be determined.

${\text{O}}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{g}\right)+\text{Cl}\left(\text{g}\right)\to {\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)+\text{ClO}\left(\text{g}\right)$

Concept introduction:

Molecularity can be defined as the total number of ions or molecules that take part in the rate-determining reaction or the molecules or atoms present on the reactant side.

Rate law of an elementary reaction can be calculated from the molecularity because the elementary reaction defines the individual event.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The molecularity and rate law for the following elementary reaction needs to be determined.

${\text{NO}}_2\left(\text{g}\right)\to \text{NO}\left(\text{g}\right)+\text{O}\left(\text{g}\right)$

Concept introduction:

Molecularity can be defined as the total number of ions or molecules that take part in the rate-determining reaction or the molecules or atoms present on the reactant side.

Rate law of an elementary reaction can be calculated from the molecularity because the elementary reaction defines the individual event.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The molecularity and rate law for the following elementary reaction needs to be determined.

$\text{ClO}\left(\text{g}\right)\text{+}\text{O}\left(\text{g}\right)\to \text{Cl}\left(\text{g}\right)+{\text{O}}_2\left(\text{g}\right)$

Concept introduction:

Molecularity can be defined as the total number of ions or molecules that take part in the rate-determining reaction or the molecules or atoms present on the reactant side.

Rate law of an elementary reaction can be calculated from the molecularity because the elementary reaction defines the individual event.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The molecularity and rate law for the following elementary reaction needs to be determined.

$\text{Cl}\left(\text{g}\right)\text{+}\text{Cl}\left(\text{g}\right)+{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\to {\text{Cl}}_2\left(\text{g}\right)+{\text{N}}_2\left(\text{g}\right)$

Concept introduction:

Molecularity can be defined as the total number of ions or molecules that take part in the rate-determining reaction or the molecules or atoms present on the reactant side.

Rate law of an elementary reaction can be calculated from the molecularity because the elementary reaction defines the individual event.
