A lecture hall contains 12 rows of seats. If the professor releases laughing gas (N2O) from the front of the room and tear gas (C6H11OBr) simultaneously from the back of the room, in which row are the students apt to start and to cry simultaneously?
Gaseous nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) is injected in a 1.0-L container where it starts decomposing irreversibly.
2NOCl(g) → 2NO(g) + Cl2(g)
The container is insulated (no heat exchange with its surroundings) and has a movable part that allows one to change its volume. Before the reaction is over, the container’s volume is abruptly increased to 1.5 L. Use collision theory to explain how this will affect the rate at which NOCl decomposes.

What is the functional purpose of an airbag? The functional purpose of an airbag is to give a cushioned surface for the driver of a vehicle during the time of the collision. On page one, paragraph three, states, “They are designed to supplement seatbelt restraints and help to distribute the load exerted on a human body during an accident.” The airbag helps to absorb and distribute the force of the impact caused by the result of collision. Since the airbag is filled with a gas (N2) it can slow down the forward motion which can prevent someone from creating a sudden collision in the steering wheel with a greater force. It may also prevent the person inside from being thrown from the vehicle during a crash. Thus, the functional purpose of an airbag is to protect the driver from collision with the steering wheel by minimizing the force of impact. 2.
