Answer:

It works by separating the fuel from the oxygen. The oxygen comes from the air. It is the same oxygen we breathe. Since the oxygen has to be in contact with the fuel, if you can coat the fuel with something that keeps the oxygen away, the fire will go out which is what the fire extinguisher does.

The rate constant for the oxidation of nitric oxide by ozone is 2 x 10^14 molecule cm s, whereas that for the competing reaction
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The NO + O3 is the dominant reaction.

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert to molecules/cm³;

For O3;

O3 at 40 ppb in atm= 4 x 10^(-8) atm and from ideal gas law PV = nRT or simplify n/V = P/RT

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to get;

n/V = [4 x 10^(-8)]/(0.0821 x 298) = 1.636 x 10^(-9)

So, n/V = 1.636 x 10^(-9) = (1.635 x 10-9 mol L-1)(6.02 x10^(23) molec/mol)(L/1000 cm3) =

9.84 x 10^(11) molecules/cm³

But from the question, NO has 2 moles, and thus concentration is;

2 x 9.84 x 10^(11) = 1.968 x 10^(12) molec/cm³

For O2;

Following the same pattern for O3, we obtain;

(0.21 atm)/[(0.0821 L atm mol-1 K-1)(298K)] = 5.167 x 1018 molecules/cm³

Now, for NO and O3 reaction the rate is; k[NO] [O3]

Thus rate;

= (2 x 10^(-14)cm³/molec.s)( 9.84 x 10^(11)molec/cm³)(1.968 x 10^(12) molec/cm³) = 3.9 molec/cm³.s

For 2NO + O2 → 2NO2 reaction, rate = k[NO]2 [O2]

Thus, rate;

= (2 x 10^(-38) cm^(6)/molec².s )( 1.968 x 10^(12) molec/cm³) ²

(5.167 x 1018 molec/cm³)

= 40,000 molec/cm³.s

Observing the two rates, it's clear that the NO + O3 is the dominant reaction.

1)Which of the following changes would decrease the rate at which a solid solute dissolves in a liquid solvent? (3 points)
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The first one is B, "Decreasing surface area."

Explanation:

This is because greater the surface area exposed, the more collisions that occur between the solvent and solute. I also just took the test myself and got it correct.
