The following mechanism has been suggested for the reaction between nitrogen monoxide and oxygen: NO(g) + NO(g) → N2O2(g) (fast)

N2O2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) (slow) According to this mechanism, the experimental rate law is a. second-order in NO and zero-order in O2. b. second-order in NO and first-order in O2. c. first-order in NO and second-order in O2. d. first-order in NO and first-order in O2. e. first-order in NO and zero-order in O2.

Answer:

b. Second order in NO and first order in O₂.

Explanation:

A. The mechanism

\rm 2NO\xrightarrow[k_{-1}]{k_{1}}N_{2}O_{2} \, (fast)\\\rm N_{2}O_{2} + O_{2}\xrightarrow{k_{2}} 2NO_{2} \, (slow)

B. The rate expressions

-\dfrac{\text{d[NO]} }{\text{d}t} = k_{1}[\text{NO]}^{2} - k_{-1} [\text{N}_{2}\text{O}_{2}]^{2}\\\\\rm -\dfrac{\text{d[N$_{2}$O$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t} = -\dfrac{\text{d[O$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t} = k_{2}[ N_{2}O_{2}][O_{2}] - k_{1} [NO]^{2}\\\\\dfrac{\text{d[NO$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t}= k_{2}[ N_{2}O_{2}][O_{2}]

The last expression is the rate law for the slow step. However, it contains the intermediate N₂O₂, so it can't be the final answer.

C. Assume the first step is an equilibrium

If the first step is an equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The equilibrium is only slightly perturbed by the slow leaking away of N₂O₂ to form product.

\rm k_{1}[NO]^{2} = k_{-1} [N_{2}O_{2}]\\\\\rm [N_{2}O_{2}] = \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}

D. Substitute this concentration into the rate law

\rm \dfrac{\text{d[NO$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t}= \dfrac{k_{2}k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2} [O_{2}] = k[NO]^{2} [O_{2}]

The reaction is second order in NO and first order in O₂.

1. What is the molarity of a solution which contains 0.256 mol of a substance dissolved in 143 mL of solution.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The equation for molarity is moles/liter for the first question you would do 0.256/0.143 liters to get 1.790 mol/L

Explanation:

The second problem you would do need to find the moles of NaCl which you would do by doing 4.89 g/58.44g/mol= 0.08367 then do 0.08367/0.600= 0.139 mol/L

The third problem would be the same steps as the second one.

The fourth problem would be (0.460M)(5.50L)= 2.53 moles

The pressure that is the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is called
mina [271]

The pressure calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is known as: filtration pressure.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure can be defined as a measure of the force exerted per unit area of an object or body. Thus, it is usually measured in Newton per meter square.

<h3>The types of pressure.</h3>

In Science, there are different types of pressure and these include the following:

  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • Atmospheric pressure
  • Osmotic pressure
  • Filtration pressure

Filtration pressure is a pressure that is typically calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure. Also, it promotes the filtration of fluid through a membrane.

Which atom would form a cation?<br> F<br> Na<br> N<br> P
sineoko [7]

Answer:

I believe Na

Explanation:

Copper, because it is the only metal out of all of them.

Therefore copper is the only element that can loose electrons to have a positive charge, it is the most likely to become a cation.
