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.

For the reaction N2(g) + 2H2(g) → N2H4(l), if the percent yield for this reaction is 100.0%, what is the actual mass of hydrazin
barxatty [35]

Answer:

53.6 g of N₂H₄

Explanation:

The begining is in the reaction:

N₂(g) + 2H₂(g) → N₂H₄(l)

We determine the moles of each reactant:

59.20 g / 28.01 g/mol = 2.11 moles of nitrogen

6.750 g / 2.016 g/mol = 3.35 moles of H₂

1 mol of N₂ react to 2 moles of H₂

Our 2.11 moles of N₂ may react to (2.11 . 2) /1 = 4.22 moles of H₂, but we only have 3.35 moles. The hydrogen is the limiting reactant.

2 moles of H₂ produce at 100 % yield, 1 mol of hydrazine

Then, 3.35 moles, may produce (3.35 . 1)/2 = 1.67 moles of N₂H₄

Let's convert the moles to mass:

1.67 mol . 32.05 g/mol = 53.6 g

If a chemical has a pH of 3, how could you alter its pH value to be more basic?
Andreyy89

Answer; If a chemical has a pH of 3, how could you change its pH value to be more basic? Adding water to a chemical will dilute the acid, thus lowering the pH value to more basic.
