- When boron trifluoride reacts with ammonia, the following reaction occurs: BF3(g)+NH3(g)BF3NH3(g)The following data are obtained at a particular temperature: (a) What is the order of the reaction with respect to BF3, NH3, and overall? (b) Write the rate expression for the reaction. (c) Calculate k for the reaction. (d) When [ BF3 ]=0.533M and NH3=0.300M, what is the rate of the reaction at the temperature of the experiment?arrow_forwardAt 573 K, gaseous NO2(g) decomposes, forming NO(g) and O2(g). If a vessel containing NO2(g) has an initial concentration of 1.9 102 mol/L, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2(g) to decompose? The decomposition of NO2(g) is second-order in the reactant and the rate constant for this reaction, at 573 K, is 1.1 L/mol s.arrow_forwardExpress the rate of the reaction 2N2O(g)2N2(g)+O2(g) in terms of (b) [ N2O ] (a) [ O2 ]arrow_forward
- The initial rate ( [NO]/ t] of the reaction of nitrogen monoxide and oxygen NO(g) + 2O2(g) NO2(g) was measured for various initial concentrations of NO and O2 at 25 C. Determine the rate equation from these data. What is the value of the rate constant, k, and what are its units?arrow_forwardDefine stability from both a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective. Give examples to show the differences in these concepts.arrow_forwardSucrose, a sugar, decomposes in acid solution to give glucose and fructose. The reaction is first-order in sucrose, and the rate constant at 25 C is k = 0.21 h1. If the initial concentration of sucrose is 0.010 mol/L, what is its concentration after 5.0 h?arrow_forward
- One possible mechanism for the decomposition of nitryl chloride, NO2CI, is What is the overall reaction? What rate law would be derived from this mechanism? What effect does increasing the concentration of the product NO2 have on the reaction rate?arrow_forwardThe Raschig reaction produces the industrially important reducing agent hydrazine, N2H4, from ammonia, NH3, and hypochlorite ion, OCl−, in basic aqueous solution. A proposed mechanism is Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: What is the overall stoichiometric equation? Which step is rate-limiting? What reaction intermediates are involved? What rate law is predicted by this mechanism?arrow_forward
