A proposed mechanism for the reaction of NO2 and CO is

Chemistry
1 answer:
Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago
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.

If an acid/base dissociates completely in water what type of substance is it? Does this mean the acid/base is dangerous?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

1 strong acid

2 yes they are dangerous

Explanation:

Since nearly all of it is dissociated in water, it is called a strong acid.

2 yes Concentrated strong acids can cause severe and painful burns. The pain is due in part to the formation of a protein layer, which resists further penetration of the acid

(a) Show that the pressure exerted by a fluid P (in pascals) is given by P = hdg, where h is the column of the fluid in metres,
Komok [63]

Answer:

B) THE DEPTH OF THE LAKE IS 0.060 m

Explanation:

b) Determine the depth of the lake in metres

1. Using the general gas law, we will calculate the initial pressure of the air bubbles.

P1V1 /T1 = P2V2/T2

P1 = Unknown

T1 = 5.24 °C

T2 = 18.73 °C

P2 = 0.973 atm

V1 = V1

V2 = 6V1

P1 = P2 V2 T1 / V1 T2

P1 = 0.973 * 6V1 * 5.24 / V1 * 18.73

P1 = 5.09852 * 6 / 18.73

P1 = 30.59112 / 18.73

P1 = 1.633 atm.

2. Calculate the depth of the lake:

             Pressure = length * density * acceleration

            length = Pressure / density * acceleration

Pressure = 1.633 atm = 1.633 * 101, 325 Nm^2 = 165, 463.725 Nm^2

Density =  1.02 g/cm3 = 1.02 * 10^3 kg/m^3

Acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

So therefore, the length in metres is:

Length = density * acceleration / pressure

Length =  1.02 *10^3 * 9.8 / 165, 463.725  

Length = 9.996 * 10^3 / 165 463.725

Length = 0.06 m

Hence, the depth of the lake is 0.06 m
