Answer/Explanation:

A lightning rod is a metal rod that is used to dislocate where lighting hits. Lightning is going to hit the closest point that it has been attracted too. So, the lightning rod was invented to attract lighting to something less potentially dangerous. Instead of hitting a building causing fires and collapsing, it takes the bolt so that nothing else has to.

An excited ozone molecule, O3*, in the atmosphere can undergo one of the following reactions,O3* → O3 (1) fluorescenceO3* → O +
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The simplified expression for the fraction  is  \text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3  \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3 }

Explanation:

From the given information:

O3* → O3                   (1)    fluorescence

O + O2                      (2)    decomposition

O3* + M → O3 + M    (3)     deactivation

The rate of fluorescence = rate of constant (k₁) × Concentration of reactant (cO)

The rate of decomposition is = k₂ × cO

The rate of deactivation = k₃ × cO × cM

where cM is the concentration of the inert molecule

The fraction (X) of ozone molecules undergoing deactivation in terms of the rate constants can be expressed by using the formula:

\text {X} =    \dfrac{ \text {rate of deactivation} }{ \text {(rate of fluorescence) +(rate of decomposition) + (rate of deactivation) }  } }

\text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{  {(k_1 \times cO) +(k_2 \times cO) + (k_3 \times cO \times cM) }  }

\text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{cO (k_1 +k_2 + k_3  \times cM) }

\text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3  \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3  }    since  cM is the concentration of the inert molecule

A solute added to a solvent raises the boiling point of the solution because: Select one: a. The solute particles raise the solv
loris [4]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be that the solute particles lower the solvent's vapor pressure, thus requiring a higher temperature to cause boiling.</em>

Dissolving a solute particle in a solvent leads to a decrease in the vapor pressure of the solvent above the resulting solution when compared to the pure solvent. The lower the vapor pressure of a liquid, the higher the temperature required for the liquid to boil and vice versa. Hence, a higher temperature would be needed to boil a solvent with dissolved solutes.
