The rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3 × 10-11 e-250/T and 2

× 10-12 e-940/T, where T is the Kelvin temperature. Calculate the ratio of the rates of ozone destruction by these catalysts at 20 km, given that at this altitude the average concentration of OH is about 100 times that of Cl and that the temperature is about -50 °C. Calculate the rate constant for ozone destruction by chlorine under conditions in the Antarctic ozone hole, when the temperature is about -80 °C and the concentration of atomic chlorine increases by a factor of one hundred to about 4 × 105 molecules cm-3.

Answer:

Calculate the ratio of the rates of ozone destruction by these catalysts at 20 km, given that at this altitude the average concentration of OH is about 100 times that of Cl and that the temperature is about -50 °C

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/T}  and 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/T}  

T = -50 °C = 223 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/223} = 9.78^{-12} [Cl] [O3]  

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/223} = 2.95^{-14} [OH] [O3]

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 330 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, the concentration of OH is approximately 100 times of Cl, and the result will be that the reaction with Cl is 3.3 times faster than the  reaction with OH

Calculate the rate constant for ozone destruction by chlorine under conditions in the Antarctic ozone hole, when the temperature is about -80 °C and the concentration of atomic chlorine increases by a factor of one hundred to about 4 × 105 molecules cm-3

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/T}  and 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/T}  

T = -80 °C = 193 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/193} = 8.21^{-12} [Cl] [O3]  

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/193} = 1.53^{-14} [OH] [O3]

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 535 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, considering the concentration of Cl increases by a factor of 100 to about 4 × 10^{5} molecules cm^{-3}, the result will be that the reaction with OH will be 535 + (100 to about 4 × 10^{5} molecules cm^{-3}) times faster than the  reaction with Cl

Answer:

I think the answer is a

Explanation:

for it to be accurate has be to exactly 0.9 rad

it is not precise because the answer she is getting is different everytime and not even close. For instance,

It would have been precise if she had gotten 0.37 rad in every attempt. or 0.89 every attempt...

An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 N. How far does the car
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of automobile = 2000 kg

speed = 30 m/s

Braking force = 10000 N

For, The acceleration is

Using newton's formula

F = ma

Where, f = force

m= mass

a = acceleration

Put the value of F and m into the formula

-10000 =2000\times a

Negative sing shows the braking force.

It shows the direction of force is opposite of the motion.

a = -\dfrac{10000}{2000}

a=-5\ m/s^2

For the distance,

Using third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v= final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = stopping distance of car

Put the value in the equation

0-30^2=2\times(-5)\times s

s = 90\ m

Hence, The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

An engineer wishes to design a curved exit ramp for a toll road in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to ro
Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,

T_x = nsinA = \frac{mv^2}{r}

T_y = ncosA = mg

Dividing both.

tan A = \frac{v^2}{rg}

tan A = \frac{11.7^2}{50*9.8}

A = tan^{-1} (0.279367)

A = 15.608\°

Therefore the angle that should the curve be banked is 15.608°
