Chapter 2, Problem 2.18CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the value of q, w, ΔU and ΔΗ is positive, negative or zero if an ideal gas is expanded reversibly and adiabatically needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A process is said to be reversible in nature if the initial state of the system can be obtained after the completion of the reaction.

In expansion, the volume of the system increases thus, ΔV>0 .

An adiabatic process is the one in which transfer of heat does not take place between system and surrounding.

The reaction for obtaining NO2 from NO and O2 has the rate equation: v = k[NO]2[O2]. Indicate which of the following options is correct.(A). This rate equation is inconsistent with the reaction consisting of a single trimolecular step.(B). Since the overall order is 3, the reaction must necessarily have some trimolecular step in its mechanism.(C). A two-step mechanism:  1) NO + NO ⇄ N2O2 (fast);   2) N2O2 + O2 → NO2 + NO2 (slow).(D). The mechanism must necessarily consist of three unimolecular elementary steps with very similar rate constants.
