Atmospheric Ozone Degradation One pathway for the destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere is
O_(3)(g)+NO(g)longrightarrowNO_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g) Slow
NO_(2)(g)+O(g)longrightarrowNO(g)+O_(2)(g) Fast Overall reaction:
O_(3)(g)+O(g)longrightarrow2O_(2)(g)Identify the correct term to describe each of the following species. Product: molecular (di)oxygen Reactant:
O(g)Intermediate:
NO_(2)(g)Reactant: ozone Catalyst: nitrogen monoxide 1 pts You are correct. Your receipt no. is
148-1168(3) Previous Tries
E_(a)is
14.0k(J)/(m)ol, for the uncatalyzed reaction:
O_(3)(g)+O(g)longrightarrow2O_(2)(g)
E_(a)for the same reaction, when catalyzed as above, is
11.9k(J)/(m)ol. At
-6\deg C, what is the ratio of the rate constant for the catalyzed reaction to that for the uncatalyzed reaction? (Assume the frequency factor
Ais the same for each reaction.)
