Write a balanced chemical equation depicting the formation of one mole of H2O2(g) from its elements in their standard states.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the formation reaction of a compound is undergone when the pure elements composing it are combined, for gaseous hydrogen peroxide, gaseous diatomic hydrogen and oxygen (standard state) must be combined in order to obtain the gaseous hydrogen peroxide as shown below:
Whereas it is proved there are two hydrogen and oxygen atoms at each side of the chemical equation and therefore it is balanced.
Best regards!

Explanation:
The stratospheric ozone layer is very important in absorbing high-energy ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to living systems on earth. The concentration of ozone in the stratosphere is determined by both thermal and photochemical pathways for its decomposition. Nitric oxide, NO, is a trace constituent in the stratosphere that reacts with ozone to form nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and the diatomic oxygen molecule. The nitrogen-oxygen bond in NO2 is relatively weak. When an NO2 molecule encounters an oxygen atom, it transfers an oxygen, forming O2 and NO. The chemical reactions involved are formations of NO2 following by reaction of NO2 with atomic oxygen for form NO and O2. The sum of both reactions show that the overall reaction is simply the reaction of ozone with atomic oxygen to form two molecules of molecular oxygen. Hence, NO only serves as a catalyst, it does not undergo a permanent change itself.
