The OSHA limit for STEL-TWA is 2ppm and the PEL-STEL value is 4ppm to the exposure to nitric acid.

OSHA refers to Occupational Safety and Health Administration has adopted standard values for the exposure to harmful and hazardous chemicals so that the safety of workers and testing animals could be ensured.

Here, STEL-TWA stands for Short Term Exposure Limit - Time-Weighted average, and PEL-STEL stands for Permissible Exposure Limit- Short Term Exposure Limit.

This is usually set up in industries to ensure the safety of the workers and the maximum exposure short-term time limit is 15min and 2ppm for STEL-TWA and 4 ppm for PEL-STEL.

Answer:

$1\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$

Explanation:

The stoichiometry for this reaction is

$2NO_2\rightarrow2NO+O_2$

The rate for this reaction can be written as

$-r_{NO_2}=-\frac{d\left[NO_2\right]}{dt}=\frac{(0.01-0.008)M}{100s}=2\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$

This rate of disappearence of $NO_2$ can be realated to the rate of appearence of $O_2$ as follows (the coefficients of each compound are defined by the stoichiometry of the reaction)

$-r_{O_2}=-r_{NO_2}\times\frac{coefficient\ O_2\ }{coefficient\ NO_2}=2\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}\times\frac{1\ mole\ O_2\ }{2\ mole\ NO_2}=1\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$
