b. Second order in NO and first order in O₂.
Explanation:
A. The mechanism
![\rm 2NO\xrightarrow[k_{-1}]{k_{1}}N_{2}O_{2} \, (fast)\\\rm N_{2}O_{2} + O_{2}\xrightarrow{k_{2}} 2NO_{2} \, (slow)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%202NO%5Cxrightarrow%5Bk_%7B-1%7D%5D%7Bk_%7B1%7D%7DN_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%20%5C%2C%20%28fast%29%5C%5C%5Crm%20N_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%20%2B%20O_%7B2%7D%5Cxrightarrow%7Bk_%7B2%7D%7D%202NO_%7B2%7D%20%5C%2C%20%28slow%29)
B. The rate expressions
![-\dfrac{\text{d[NO]} }{\text{d}t} = k_{1}[\text{NO]}^{2} - k_{-1} [\text{N}_{2}\text{O}_{2}]^{2}\\\\\rm -\dfrac{\text{d[N$_{2}$O$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t} = -\dfrac{\text{d[O$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t} = k_{2}[ N_{2}O_{2}][O_{2}] - k_{1} [NO]^{2}\\\\\dfrac{\text{d[NO$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t}= k_{2}[ N_{2}O_{2}][O_{2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BNO%5D%7D%20%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%20%3D%20k_%7B1%7D%5B%5Ctext%7BNO%5D%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20-%20k_%7B-1%7D%20%5B%5Ctext%7BN%7D_%7B2%7D%5Ctext%7BO%7D_%7B2%7D%5D%5E%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crm%20-%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BN%24_%7B2%7D%24O%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%20%3D%20-%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BO%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%20%3D%20k_%7B2%7D%5B%20N_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D%20-%20k_%7B1%7D%20%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BNO%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%3D%20k_%7B2%7D%5B%20N_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D)
The last expression is the rate law for the slow step. However, it contains the intermediate N₂O₂, so it can't be the final answer.
C. Assume the first step is an equilibrium
If the first step is an equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The equilibrium is only slightly perturbed by the slow leaking away of N₂O₂ to form product.
![\rm k_{1}[NO]^{2} = k_{-1} [N_{2}O_{2}]\\\\\rm [N_{2}O_{2}] = \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%20k_%7B1%7D%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%20k_%7B-1%7D%20%5BN_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crm%20%5BN_%7B2%7DO_%7B2%7D%5D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bk_%7B1%7D%7D%7Bk_%7B-1%7D%7D%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D)
D. Substitute this concentration into the rate law
![\rm \dfrac{\text{d[NO$_{2}$]}}{\text{d}t}= \dfrac{k_{2}k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2} [O_{2}] = k[NO]^{2} [O_{2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%5BNO%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bd%7Dt%7D%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bk_%7B2%7Dk_%7B1%7D%7D%7Bk_%7B-1%7D%7D%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D%20%3D%20k%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%5BO_%7B2%7D%5D)
The reaction is second order in NO and first order in O₂.
Oxygen
For metals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the period table from top to bottom, and left to right. In contrast, for nonmetals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the periodic table, as we move from bottom to the top, and right to left.
Group 16 on the periodic table is also called the oxygen family or chalcogens. It includes the following elements from top to bottom: Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium. Of these, only Oxygen, Sulfur, and Selenium are nonmetals. Since reactivity of nonmetals increases going up the periodic table, oxygen is therefore the most reactive nonmetal in the group. Shown in the figure below is the reactivity trend in the periodic table.
The mass of the liquid is 4.8 kg.
6.4 L = 6400 mL
Mass = 6400 mL × (0.70 g/1 mL) = 4500 g = 4.8 kg
For 1. 00 l of an aqueous buffer containing 60. 0 mmol of acetic acid (pa=4. 76) and 40. 0 mmol of acetate, the pH of this buffer is 4.58.
<h3>What is handerson Hasselbalch equation? </h3>
It is expressed as:
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]
where,
[A-] is the molar concentration of conjugate base
[HA] is the molar concentration of weak acid
Given,
pKa = 4.76
<h3>Calculation of concentration:</h3>
C = n/V
= 60/1000
= 0.06M
C = 40/1000
= 0.04M
Now, substituting values in equation we get,
pH = 4.76 + log(0.04/0.06)
pH = 4.76 + (-0.176)
pH = 4.58
Thus by using Henderson Hasselbalch equation we find the value of pH of the buffer is 4.58.
