Answer:

The answer to the question is

The source of the nitro- gen and oxygen atoms is from the atmosphere

Explanation:

When gasoline burns oxygen from the atmosphere supports the combustion reaction.

For example the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle pulls in air from the surrounding atmosphere to make use of the oxygen in aiding the combustion of the gasoline to drive the pistons that ultimately moves the vehicle. The air from which the oxygen is absorbed also contains more amount of Nitrogen by percentage than oxygen. The nitrogen therefore enters into the combustion reaction that eventually produces nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide

Explanation:

When fuels are burned either in vehicle engines or other processes, high temperatures are reached. At these high temperatures, nitrogen and oxygen from the air(which oxygen and nitrogen have significant percentages) combine to produce nitrogen monoxide. When this nitrogen monoxide is released from these systems, it combines with oxygen in the air to form nitrogen dioxide.

Why are noble gasses ''inert''
Bogdan [553]
Inert gases are gases that don't react with other elements. What this means is that they won't combine with other elements, and trigger chemical reactions. I've posted a picture of the Periodic Table. Take a look at the VERY LAST row, all the way on the RIGHT side of the table. That row is made of up NOBLE GASES (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, etc.) Those noble gases are INERT. They are non-reactive.

The rate constant for the decomposition of nitrogen dioxide NO2(g) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ NO (g) + 1/2 O2(g) with a laser beam
aleksley [76]

Answer :

The time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

The order of reaction is, second order reaction.

Explanation :

The general formula to determine the unit of rate constant is:

(Concentration)^{(1-n)}(Time)^{-1}

Unit of rate constant                           Order of reaction

Concentration/Time                                        0

Time^{-1}                                                              1

(Concentration)^{-1}Time^{-1}                                 2

As the unit of rate constant is M^{-1}min^{-1}. So, the order of reaction is second order.

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = 1.95M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time = ?

[A_t] = final concentration = 0.97 M

[A_o] = initial concentration = 2.48 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

1.95\times t=\frac{1}{0.97}-\frac{1}{2.48}

t=0.32min=0.32\times 60s=19.2s

Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

The strength of an atom's attraction for the electrons in a chemical bond is the atom's?
Mazyrski [523]

<span><span>Yes. An element that is highly electronegative pulls more on the electrons in a bond, such as oxygen in H20. This creates a polar bond, where there is a small negative charge on the oxygen, and a small positive charge in between the hydrogens.

In which part of the cell is the majority of the energy released from the breakdown of glucose
Vladimir [108]

<em>Answer</em><em>:</em>

<em>Glycolysis</em>

<em>E</em><em>xplanation</em><em> </em><em>:</em>

Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cell metabolism.Many living organisms carry out glycolysis as part of their metabolism. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of most prokaryotic and all eukaryotic cells.
