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.

Cu20(s) + C(s) - 2Cu(s) + CO(g)
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

That means Cu2O is limiting reagent and C is excess reagent

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of Cu2O reacts per mole of C. The ratio of reaction is 1:1.

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of each reactant to moles. The reactant with the lower amount of moles is limiting reactant and the excess reactant is the reactant with the higher number of moles.

<em>Moles Cu2O -Molar mass: 143.09 g/mol-</em>

114.2g Cu2O * (1mol / 143.09g) = 0.798 moles Cu2O

<em>Moles C -Molar mass: 12.01g/mol-</em>

11.1g C * (1mol / 12.01g) = 0.924 moles C

<h3>That means Cu2O is limiting reagent and C is excess reagent</h3>
