- Ozone, O3, in the Earths upper atmosphere decomposes according to the equation 2 O3(g) 3 O2(g) The mechanism of the reaction is thought to proceed through an initial fast, reversible step followed by a slow, second step. Step 1: Fast, reversible O3(g) O2(g) + O(g) Step 2: Slow O3(g) + O(g) 2 O2(g) (a) Which of the steps is rate-determining? (b) Write the rate equation for the rate-determining steparrow_forwardHow do the rate of a reaction and its rate constant differ?arrow_forwardWhich of the reactions in Question 62 would (a) occur fastest? (b) occur slowest? (Assume equal temperatures, equal concentrations, equal frequency factors, and the same rate law for all reactions.)arrow_forward
- Give at least two physical properties that might be used to determine the rate of a reaction.arrow_forwardThe type of rate law for a reaction, either the differential rate law or the integrated rate law, is usually determined by which data is easiest to collect. Explain.arrow_forwardRank the following in order of increasing reaction rate. (a) Dynamite exploding (b) Iron rusting (c) Paper burningarrow_forward
- In experiments on the decomposition of azomethane. CH3NHCH3(g)C2H6(g)+N2(g) the following data were obtained: Initial Concentration of Azomethane Initial Rate Exp. 1 1.13 102 M 2.8 106 M/s Exp. 2 2.26 102 M 5.6 106 M/s What is the rate law? What is the value of the rate constant?arrow_forwardExpress the rate of the reaction 2N2O(g)2N2(g)+O2(g) in terms of (b) [ N2O ] (a) [ O2 ]arrow_forwardDefine these terms: (a) unimolecular reaction (b) bimolecular reaction (c) elementary reaction (d) overall reactionarrow_forward
