8 0

Answer:

a.

1. NO2(g): Reactant.

2. CO(g): Reactant.

3. NO3(g): Intermediate.

4. CO2(g): Product.

5. NO(g): Product.

b. See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

a. In this case, given the reactions, we can identify each species as:

1. NO2(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.

2. CO(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.

3. NO3(g): Intermediate because it is a product in the step 1 and a reactant in step 2, for that reason it is not present in the overall reaction.

4. CO2(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.

5. NO(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.

b. In this case, given that the first step is slow and endothermic, it has a high activation energy and the products will have more energy than the reactants, for that reason the final energy is above the initial point. Moreover, since the second step is fast and exothermic, it has a low activation energy and the products will have less energy than the reactants, for that reason, the reaction coordinate diagram is shown on the attached file.

Regards.

How many milliliter of a solution of 4.00KI are needed to prepare 250.0mL of 0.760 KI
Alexeev081 [22]
Answer:

47.5 mL

Solving:

M1 = 4.00 M

V1 = ?

M2 = 0.760 M

V2 = 0.250 L

---

M1 * V1 = M2 * V2

V1 = ( M2 * V2 ) / M1

V1 = ( 0.760 * 0.250 ) / 4.00

V1 = ( 0.190 ) / 4.00

V1 = 0.0475 L
