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.

A gas is at a pressure of 3.70 atm. What is this pressure in kilopascals?
Yanka [14]
Answer:
                =   374.90 kPa 

Calculation:
                  As we know atm and kiloPascal are related to each other as,

                                         1 atm  =  101.325 kPa
So,
                                    3.70 atm  =   X
Solving for X,
                                     X  = (3.70 atm × 101.325 kPa) ÷ 1 atm

                                     X  =  374.90 kPa
