<span> some elements have their outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. After this it gets more complex in explaining why they are bound with different strengths. </span>

<span> it has to do with how tightly held the most reactive electrons are  in general the closer the  valence electrons are to nucleus the more tightly it is held </span>

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.

g Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction in which water and carbon d
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

6.49g

Explanation:

Let's consider the balanced reaction for photosynthesis.

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O = C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 mole of CO₂ has a mass of 44.01 g (MW 44.01)
  • The molar ratio of CO₂ to C₆H₁₂O₆ is 6:1.
  • 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ has a mass of 180.16 g/mol.

The mass of glucose produced by the reaction of 9.51 g of carbon dioxide is:

9.51gCO_2 \times \frac{1molCO_2}{44.01gCO_2}  \times \frac{1molGlucose}{6molCO_2}  \times \frac{180.16gGlucose}{1molGlucose} = 6.49g Glucose

You want to make 500 ml of a 1 N solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4, MW: 98.1). How many grams of sulfuric acid do you need?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

24.525 g of sulfuric acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

Normality (units of eq/L) is defined as:

N=\frac{eq_{solute}}{V_{solution}}

Since the sulfuric acid is the solute, and we already have the volume of the solution (500 mL) but we need it in liters (0.5 L, just divide into 1000), the equivalent grams of solute are given by:

eq_{solute}=N*V_{solution}=1\frac{eq}{L}*0.5L=0.5 eq

Now, since the sulfuric acid is diprotic (2 hydrogen atoms in its formula) 1 mole of sulfuric acid has 2 equivalent grams of sulfuric acid, so the mole-mass relationship is developed to find its required mass as follows:

m_{H_2SO_4}=0.5eqH_2SO_4(\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{2 eqH_2SO_4}) (\frac{98.1 g H_2SO_4}{1 mol H_2SO_4} )\\m_{H_2SO_4}=24.525 g H_2SO_4

Best regards.
