Textbook Question

Chapter 14, Problem 90SCQ

Chlorine atoms contribute to the destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer by the following sequence of reactions:

Cl + O₃ → ClO + O₂

ClO + O → Cl + O₂

where the O atoms in the second step come from the decomposition of ozone by sunlight:

O₃(g) → O(g) + O₂(g)

What is the net equation on summing these three equations? Why does this lead to ozone loss in the stratosphere? What is the role played by Cl in this sequence of reactions? What name is given to species such as ClO?

The addition of NO accelerates the decomposition of N2O, possibly by the following mechanism: NO(g)+N2O(g)→N2(g)+NO2(g) 2NO2(g)→2NO(g)+O2(g) Consider how the two steps can be added to give the overall equation, and then write the chemical equation for the overall reaction.

Suppose a pair of chemical compounds A and B can react in two different ways: A+B → C Reaction 1 gives product C. A+B →D Reaction 2 gives product D. The following facts are known about the two reactions: • Both reactions are endothermic, but the heat of reaction of Reaction #2 is larger. • If a reaction vessel is charged ("filled") with A and B, then at first C is produced faster than D. Use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions. Note: because these sketches are only qualitative, the energies don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.

The reaction between nitrogen and oxygen is given below: N2(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO(g) We therefore know that which of the following reactions can also occur? | 2 NO2(g) → 2 NO(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g) → N2(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g) + O2(g)→ 2 NO2(g) O None of the Above
