Regular ?ights of supersonic aircraft in the stratosphere ale of concern because such aircraft produce nitric oxide, NO, as a byproduct in the exhaust of their engines. Nitric oxide reacts with ozone, and it has been suggested that this could contribute to depletion of the ozone layer. The reaction NO+O3NO2+O2 is first order with respect to both NO and O3 with a rate constant of 2.20107 L/mol/s. What is the instantaneous rate of disappearance of NO when [NO]=3.3106 M and [O3]=5.9107M?
The decomposition of azomethane, (CH3)2N2, to nitrogen and ethane gases is a first-order reaction, (CH3)2N2(g)N2(g)+C2H6(g). At a certain temperature, a 29-mg sample of azomethane is reduced to 12 mg in 1.4 s. (a) What is the rate constant k for the decomposition at that temperature? (b) What is the half-life of the decomposition? (c) How long will it take to decompose 78% of the azomethane?
A drug decomposes in the blood by a first-order process. A pill containing 0.500 g of the active ingredient reaches its maximum concentration of 2.5 mg/ 100 mL of blood. If the half-life of the active ingredient is 75 min, what is its concentration in the blood 2.0 h after the maximum concentration has been reached?
Hundreds of different reactions occur in the stratosphere, among them reactions that destroy the Earths ozone layer. The table below lists several (second-order) reactions of Cl atoms with ozone and organic compounds; each is given with its rate constant.

For the past 10 years, the unsaturated hydrocarbon 1, 3-butadiene (CH2 = CH - CH = CH2) has ranked 38th among the top 50 industrial Chemicals. It is used primarily for the manufacture of synthetic rubber. An isomer exists also as cyclobutene: The isomerization of cyclobutene to butadiene is first-order and the rate constant has been measured as 2.0104s1 at 150 C in a 0.53-L ?ask. Determine the partial pressure of cyclobutene and its concentration after 30.0 minutes if an isomerization reaction is carried out at 150 C with an initial pressure of 55 torr.
The hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?
