- Ozone, O3, in the Earths upper atmosphere decomposes according to the equation 2 O3(g) 3 O2(g) The mechanism of the reaction is thought to proceed through an initial fast, reversible step followed by a slow, second step. Step 1: Fast, reversible O3(g) O2(g) + O(g) Step 2: Slow O3(g) + O(g) 2 O2(g) (a) Which of the steps is rate-determining? (b) Write the rate equation for the rate-determining steparrow_forwardAt 500 K in the presence of a copper surface, ethanol decomposes according to the equation C2H5OH(g)CH3CHO(g)+H2(g) The pressure of C2H5OH was measured as a function of time and the following data were obtained: Time(s) PC2H5OH(torr) 0 250. 100. 237 200. 224 300. 211 400. 198 500. 185 Since the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the concentration of gas, we can express the rate law for a gaseous reaction in terms of partial pressures. Using the above data, deduce the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant, all in terms of pressure units in atm and time in seconds. Predict the pressure of C2H5OH after 900. s from the start of the reaction. (Hint: To determine the order of the reaction with respect to C2H5OH, compare how the pressure of C2H5OH decreases with each time listing.)arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish-yellow gas that is soluble in water. In basic solution it gives ClO3 and ClO2 ions. 2ClO2(aq)+2OH(aq)ClO3(aq)+ClO2(aq)+H2O To obtain the rate law for this reaction, the following experiments were run and, for each, the initial rate of reaction of ClO2 was determined. Obtain the rate law and the value of the rate constant.arrow_forward
- At 573 K, gaseous NO2(g) decomposes, forming NO(g) and O2(g). If a vessel containing NO2(g) has an initial concentration of 1.9 102 mol/L, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2(g) to decompose? The decomposition of NO2(g) is second-order in the reactant and the rate constant for this reaction, at 573 K, is 1.1 L/mol s.arrow_forwardNitryl fluoride is an explosive compound that can be made by oxidizing nitrogen dioxide with fluorine: 2 NO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 NO2F(g) Several kinetics experiments, all done at the same temperature and involving formation of nitryl fluoride, are summarized in this table: Write the rate law for the reaction.

- The Raschig reaction produces the industrially important reducing agent hydrazine, N2H4, from ammonia, NH3, and hypochlorite ion, OCl−, in basic aqueous solution. A proposed mechanism is Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: What is the overall stoichiometric equation? Which step is rate-limiting? What reaction intermediates are involved? What rate law is predicted by this mechanism?arrow_forwardThe isomerization of cyclopropane, C3H6, is believed to occur by the mechanism shown in the following equations: C3H6+C3H5k1C3H6+C3H6(Step1)C3H6k2C2=CHCH3(Step2) Here C3H6 is an excited cyclopropane molecule. At low pressure, Step 1 is much slower than Step 2. Derive the rate law for this mechanism at low pressure. Explain.arrow_forwardCandle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.arrow_forward
