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]

What is one of the products produced when al(no3)3 and cao react together? alo2 cano3 al2o3 ca(no3)3?
cricket20 [7]
The chemical balanced equation for the given question is this:
2AL[NO3]3 + 3CaO = AL2O3 + 3Ca[NO3]2.
So, one of the product formed is AI2O3. The other product is Ca[NO3]2.
The reaction is a double replacement reaction.

Which pair of elements can be used to determine the age of a fossil that is over one billion years old?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.

The half time of C-14 5730 years  

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.

All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.

Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant
