Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The molecularity of the given reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The elementary reactions are categorized according to their molecularity. The term molecularity is referred to the number of reacting species which can be molecules, ions or atoms in an elementary reaction. If there is only one reactant molecule in an elementary reaction then its molecularity is equal to one and reaction is said to be unimolecular. If there are two reactant molecules in an elementary reaction then its molecularity is equal to two and reaction is said to be bimolecular.
(b)
Interpretation:
The molecularity of the given reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).

SherwoodRowland shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work onatmospheric chemistry. One of several reaction sequences pro-posed for the role of chlorine in the decomposition of strato-spheric ozone is (1) Cl(g) +O3(g)→ ClO(g) +O₂(g) (2) ClO(g) +ClO(g)→ Cl₂O₂(g) (3) Cl₂O₂→ (g)2Cl(g)+ O₂(g).Over the tropics, O atoms are more common in the stratosphere:(4) ClO(g) +O(g)→ Cl(g) +O₂(g).(a) Which, if any, of these are oxidation-reduction reactions?(b) Write an overall equation combining reactions 1–3arrow_forward

- Calculate the energy (in kJ/mol) that electrons acquire as a result of being accelerate through a potential of 80 V. (b) How does this energy compare to that of a typical chemical bond?arrow_forwardThe average bond enthalpies of the C¬F and C¬Cl bonds are 485 kJ/mol and 328 kJ/mol, respectively. Given the fact that O2, N2, and O in the upper atmosphere absorb most of the light with wavelengths shorter than 240 nm, would you expect the photodissociation of C ¬ F bonds to be significant in the lower atmosphere?arrow_forwardThe molecular weight of sperm whale myoglobin is 17.8 kDa.17.8 kDa. The myoglobin content of sperm whale muscle is about 80 g · kg−1.80 g · kg−1. In contrast, the myoglobin content of some human muscles is about 8 g · kg−1.8 g · kg−1. Compare the amounts of O2O2 bound to myoglobin in human muscle and in sperm whale muscle. Assume that the myoglobin is saturated with O2,O2, and that the molecular weights of human and sperm whale myoglobin are the same. How much O2O2 is bound to myoglobin in human muscle? How much O2O2 is bound to myoglobin in whale muscle? The amount of oxygen dissolved in tissue water at 37°C37°C is about 3.5×10−5 M.3.5×10−5 M.
