Experimental data show that the homogeneous decomposition of ozone proceeds with a rate

r   =   k [O3]2 [O2]‒1

Suggest a mechanism to explain this rate. [Hint: the first step is reaction of ozone with an “initiator” molecule (M) to form an M•O complex.]

Nitric oxide (NO) can catalyze ozone destruction through the catalytic process described below: NO + O3 > NO2 + O2 (Reaction 1) NO2 + O > NO + O2 (Reaction 2) The reaction rate (how fast the reaction proceeds) is calculated as the product of the reaction rate constant k, and the respective concentrations of the reactants e.g. in the reaction A + B products, the reaction rate is given by Rate = d[A]/dt = d[B]/dt = k[A][B]. The reaction...

The ozone layer is a protective layer around the Earth that absorbs UV radiations. Stratospheric ozone is depleted through the reaction of ozone, O3O3, with nitric oxide, NONO. The gaseous emissions from vehicles and industries are responsible for the rapid destruction of this layer. The destruction of the ozone by nitric oxide (NONO) is shown in the video. This is a two-step reaction, called a multistep reaction, involving a catalyst and an intermediate. Nitric oxide (NONO) enhances the reaction rate,...

The iodide-catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is thought to proceed by a four-step mechanism: H2O2(aq) + I-(aq) --> HOI(aq) + OH-(aq) (slow) HOI(aq) + OH-(aq) --> H2O(l) + OI-(aq) OI-(aq) + H2O2(aq) --> HOOI(aq) + OH-(aq) HOOI(aq) + OH-(aq) --> H2O(l) + O2(g) + I-(aq) (a) If the first step of this mechanism is rate-determining (slow), choose the correct rate law for the overall process. oRate = k [H2O2]2 oRate = k [I-] [H2O2] oRate = k [H2O2] [H2O2] oRate...
