Which of the following reactions could be an elementary reaction? 2 NO2(g) + F2(g) → 2NO2F(g) Rate = k[NO2][F2] H2(g) + Br2(g) →

2 HBr(g) Rate = k[H2][Br2]1/2 NO(g) + O2(g) → NO2(g) + O(g) Rate = k[NO][O2] NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g) Rate = k[NO2]2

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)+O(g);Rate=k[NO][O_2]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molecularity of the reaction is defined as the number of atoms, ions or molecules that must colloid with one another simultaneously so as to result into a chemical reaction.

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

For the given reactions:

  • <u>Equation 1:</u> 2NO_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2F(g);Rate=k[NO_2][F_2]

Molecularity of the reaction = 2 + 1 = 3

Order of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

This is not considered as an elementary reaction.

  • <u>Equation 2:</u>  H_2(g)+Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2HBr(g);Rate=k[H_2][Br_2]^{1/2}

Molecularity of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Order of the reaction = 1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

This is not considered as an elementary reaction.

  • <u>Equation 3:</u>  NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)+O(g);Rate=k[NO][O_2]

Molecularity of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Order of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

This is considered as an elementary reaction.

  • <u>Equation 4:</u>  NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightarrow NO(g)+CO_2(g);Rate=k[NO_2]^2

Molecularity of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Order of the reaction = 2 + 0 = 2

In this equation, the order with respect to each reactant is not equal to its stoichiometric coefficient which is represented in the balanced chemical reaction. Hence, this is not considered as an elementary reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)+O(g);Rate=k[NO][O_2]

Why will liquids evaporate even at room temperature?
mr Goodwill [35]
<h2>It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. ... It turns out that all liquids can evaporate at room temperature and normal air pressure. Evaporation happens when atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the molecules in a liquid have the same energy.</h2>
