(a)
Interpretation:
Molecularity of production of ozone should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The ozone is produced by the reaction of nascent oxygen with the molecular oxygen present in the air as follows:
Molecularity of a reaction is the sum of the coefficient of all the reactants taking place in a reaction to produce a product and can be shown as follows:
For the above reaction, the molecularity is
(b)
Interpretation:
Production of ozone is fast or slow should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The ozone is produced by the reaction of nascent oxygen with the molecular oxygen present in the air. There are so many sources to produce nascent oxygen and after the reaction of this nascent oxygen with molecular oxygen, it results in the formation of ozone as follows:
(c)
Interpretation:
The requirement of the third molecule in the production of ozone should be identified.

Tritium is formed from hydrogen in water vapor in the upper atmosphere by cosmic bombardment, so all naturally ocurring water contains a small amount of this isotope. Once the water is in a bottle of wine, however, the formation of additional tritium from the water is negligible, so the tritium initially present gradually diminishes by a first-order radioactive decay with a half-life of 12.5 years. If a bottle of wine is found to have a tritium concentration that is 0.184 that of freshly bottled wine (i.e. [3H]t = 0.184 [3H]0), what is the age of the wine?arrow_forward
