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

in which it is oxidized by oxygen, i.e., 2NO + O2- --> 2NO2 is 2 x 10^38 molecule2 cm s. For typical concentrations encountered in morning smog episodes, namely 40 ppb for ozone and 80 ppb for nitric oxide, deduce the rates of these two reactions and decide which one is the dominant process.

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.

valkas [14]
A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction between two or more substances that produces new substances/compounds.

On the other hand, a nuclear reaction is a reaction that alters the nucleus of a certain atom. This can be done either by splitting the nucleus or by joining this nucleus with another one.

Reaction 1:
Cl₂ + H₂ ............> 2 HCl
This is the combination of two elements to produce a new compound.
Therefore, this reaction is a chemical reaction

Reaction 2:
²₁H + ³₁H .........> ⁴₂H + ¹₀n
This is an alteration in the nucleus of a hydrogen atom by bonding it with another nucleus.
Therefore, this reaction is a nuclear reaction

Hope this helps :)

Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w
-BARSIC- [3]
The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
 v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

During the processes of erosion and deposition, sediments that are the ________ in size will be carried the greatest distances b
Ahat [919]

The full sentences are given below:

1. During the process of erosion and deposition, sediments that are the SMALLEST in size will be carried the greatest distance before being deposited.

Erosion and deposition are the methods by which sand and rock particles are moved from one place to another. The erosion can be caused by water or wind. Water and wind have the capacity to transport particle from one location and deposit them in another location. How far the erosion is able to move the particles depend on the weight of the particles. It is easier for erosion to carry small particles over a long distance than for it to carry large particles over the same distance.

2. Most METAMORPHIC rocks form under conditions found a few kilometer under the earth surface.

Metamorphic rocks generally are formed from existing rocks. The existing rocks are usually subjected to heat and pressure, which cause radical changes in the chemical and physical properties of the rock. Metamorphic rocks can be formed underneath the earth surface if they are subjected to high temperature and pressure by the rock layers above them.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1. B, D,

2.A, F

Explanation:

1. According to the law of conservation of mass, In a course of chemical reaction, matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. This means the amount of matter at the begining and ending of a reaction must be thesame.

2. Chemical reaction is not easily reversible. when gas is produced, provided the reaction system is an open system, the gas cannot be recovered and the reactants cannot be recovered from the products. likewise color change are attributed to chemical reaction
