Explain why the bond between B and Cl in the molecule BCl3 is shorter than would be expected for a single B—Cl bond.
In a hydrogen molecule, the two hydrogen atoms are held together by a single bond with a bond energy of 436 kJ/mol of hydrogen. In
other words, to break the H-H bonds in one mole of molecular hydrogen requires the expenditure of 436 kJ of energy. Using the
balanced chemical equation for the formation of water from oxygen and hydrogen (shown above), and interpreting the stoichiometric
coefficients as mole amounts, how much energy must be expended in breaking the H-H bonds?
kJ
A proposed two-step mechanism for the destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere is
a. What is the overall balanced equation for the ozone destruction reaction?
b. Which species is a catalyst?
c. Which species is an intermediate?
d. What is the rate law derived from this mechanism if the first step in the mechanism is slow and the second step is fast?
e. One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the reaction
Chlorine atoms also can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The first step of a proposed mechanism for chlorine-catalyzed ozone destruction is
Cl (g) + O3 (g) → ClO (g) + O2 (g) Slow
Assuming a two-step mechanism, propose the second step in the mechanism and give the overall balanced equation.
