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.

What are the equilibrium concentrations of pb2+ and f– in a saturated solution of lead(ii) fluoride if the ksp of pbf2 is 3.20×1
erica [24]
Answer is:  the equilibrium concentrations fluorine anion are 0.004 M and lead cation are 0.002 M.<span>
Chemical reaction: PbF</span>₂(aq) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq).<span>
Ksp = 3,2·10</span>⁻⁸.
[Pb²⁺] = x.
[F⁻] = 2[Pb²⁺] = 2x<span>
Ksp = [Pb²</span>⁺] · [F⁻]².
Ksp = x · 4x².
3,2·10⁻⁸ = 4x³.
x = ∛3,2·10⁻⁸ ÷ 4.
x = [Pb²⁺] = 0,002M = 2·10⁻³ M.
[F⁻] = 2 · 0,002M = 0,004 M = 4·10⁻³ M.

Which of the following statements is true of proteins?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The answer is Denaturation is reversible

Explanation:

Denaturation of proteins is the process whereby there is a disruption in the tertiary, quaternary or secondary structure of proteins which causes a conformation change in its action

denaturation is reversible, that is, the proteins can regain their native state when the denaturing influence is removed. This process can be called renaturation.

Group Starts True

A rightward change in equilibrium.

The concentration of gases = [H2] will decrease, [N2] will increase, [NH3] will increase when the new equilibrium is reached.

Additional heat is produced.

The forward and backward reactions' rates quicken in the new equilibrium.

The equilibrium constant decreases as more heat is released.

the exothermic nature of the process.

The equilibrium constant would not have changed if the temperature had remained constant.

Explanation:

February 7, 1863, was the day John Newlands published a paper outlining what would be known as “The Law of Octaves”. Newlands discovered if he ordered the known elements by increasing atomic weight, the chemical properties of the elements would be similar for every eighth group
