Question

Consider the following chain-reaction mechanism for the high-temperatureformation of nitric oxide, i.e., the Zeldovich mechanism:
O+ N2 → NO + N
N + O2 → NO+ O

Write out expressions for d[NO] / dt and d[N] / dt.

Answer 1

Answer: hello attached below is the properly written chain reaction  to your question

answer :

d[NO] / dt = $k_{1f} [O] [N_{2}] + K_{2f} [N][O_{2} ] + K_{3f}[N][OH]$

d[N] / dt = $k_{1f} [O] [N_{2}] + K_{2f} [N][O_{2} ] - K_{3f}[N][OH]$

Explanation:

write out expressions for  d[NO] / dt and d[N] / dt

Given :

properly written chain reaction ( attached below)

Expression for d[NO] / dt can be written as

$k_{1f} [O] [N_{2}] + K_{2f} [N][O_{2} ] + K_{3f}[N][OH]$

Expression for d[N] / dt can be written as

$k_{1f} [O] [N_{2}] + K_{2f} [N][O_{2} ] - K_{3f}[N][OH]$
