Question
![13. Only the =O, but not the N=N, in the air reacts with the H2S. Which of the following is the best
explanation for this behavior?
A. The kinetic energy of oxygen molecules is greater than the kinetic energy of nitrogen molecules.
B. N2 molecules are lighter than O2 so they collide with the H2S with less momentum.
C. The activation energy for the reaction with N2 is too big because of the very strong triple bond.
D. The concentration of N, in the atmosphere is less than the concentration of O2.
14. The reaction mechanism for the reaction 2 H2S(g) + 302(g) 2 2 SO2(8) + 2 H20(g) contains
over 170 (!) elementary steps. One of the important steps is shown below together with its rate law.
2 SO(g) → OSO(g) + S(g)
Rate = 2.0 x 109 x exp(-16720/RT) x
[So]?.
Which one of the following statements about this elementary step is incorrect?
A. The rate constant is equal to 2.0 x 109 x exp(-16720/RT).
B. The collision SO + SO has a higher probability of leading to a reaction than does the collision SO + OS.
C. The fraction of collisions between A and B that lead to a reaction is equal to exp(-16720/RT).
D. The number of collisions per second between A and B is equal to 2.0 x 10°.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/1c9ec205-c724-4ca2-b5f2-e7d121be95e9/6a741694-be95-48a7-92b1-f899e0e8986b/784yjuu9_thumbnail.png)
