Chapter 21, Problem 21.74QP
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) undergoes thermal decomposition as follows:
The rate constant is 3.0 × 10−4s−1 at 25°C. At the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere, where the temperature is about −40°C, the rate constant is reduced to 2.6 × 10−7 s−1. (a) Calculate the activation energy for the decomposition of PAN. (b) What is the half-life of the reaction (in min) at 25°C?

When conditions are NOX-limited, the excess of VOCs in the atmosphere quickly oxidize available NO to NO2. 2. Reducing the concentration of NOX may lead to an increase in ozone formation when conditions are VOC- limited. 3. Smog episodes are not initiated during nighttime hours, because the hydroxyl radicals necessary to initiate the reactions are formed due to photodecomposition reactions. 4. Photochemical smog never occurs in areas without significant vehicle traffic and power plant emissions. 4. Metropolitan areas surrounded by wooded areas need to focus their smog reduction on limiting NOX concentrations due to the VOCs produced by surrounding trees.arrow_forward
