podryga [215]

Answer: The correct answer is $NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)+O(g);Rate=k[NO][O_2]$

Explanation:

Molecularity of the reaction is defined as the number of atoms, ions or molecules that must colloid with one another simultaneously so as to result into a chemical reaction.

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

For the given reactions:

Equation 1: $2NO_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2F(g);Rate=k[NO_2][F_2]$

Molecularity of the reaction = 2 + 1 = 3

Order of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

This is not considered as an elementary reaction.

Equation 2: $H_2(g)+Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2HBr(g);Rate=k[H_2][Br_2]^{1/2}$

Molecularity of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Order of the reaction = $1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

This is not considered as an elementary reaction.

Equation 3: $NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)+O(g);Rate=k[NO][O_2]$

Molecularity of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Order of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

This is considered as an elementary reaction.

Equation 4: $NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightarrow NO(g)+CO_2(g);Rate=k[NO_2]^2$

Molecularity of the reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Order of the reaction = 2 + 0 = 2

In this equation, the order with respect to each reactant is not equal to its stoichiometric coefficient which is represented in the balanced chemical reaction. Hence, this is not considered as an elementary reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is $NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)+O(g);Rate=k[NO][O_2]$

28. Describe the molecular geometry and hybridization of the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds. (a) H3PO4, pho

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of an atom is connected to the number of electron pairs that surround it(whether lone pairs or bonding pairs) as well as its hybridization state. We shall now examine the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds.

a)

In H3PO4, P has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

b) In NH4NO3

N is sp3 hybridized in NH4^+ and sp2 hybridized in NO3^-. Also, N is tetrahedral in NH4^+ but trigonal planar in NO3^-.

c) In S2Cl2, we expect a tetrahedral geometry but as a result of the presence of two lone pairs on each sulphur atom, the molecular geometry is bent. The sulphur is sp3 hybridized.

d) In K4[O3POPO3], each phosphorus atom is in a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.
