Nitrosyl bromide, NOBr, can be formed from the reaction of NO and Br2:         NO(g)  +  ½ Br2(g)    NOBr                   K1 = 1.41 Nitrosyl bromide also readily decomposes to give N2, O2, and Br2:              2 NOBr(g)    N2(g)  +  O2(g)  +  Br2(g)        K2 = 1.05 x1030 Use these reactions to calculate Kc for the decomposition of nitric oxide, NO, into N2 and O2: 2NO(g)   N2(g)  +  O2(g)

A catalytic converter in an automobile uses a palladium or platinum catalyst (a substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction) to convert carbon monoxide gas to carbon dioxide according to the reaction:2 CO( g) + O2( g)------------> 2 CO2( g)A chemist researching the effectiveness of a new catalyst combines a 2.0:1.0 mole ratio mixture of carbon monoxide and oxygen gas (respectively) over the catalyst in a 2.45-L flask at a total pressure of 745 torr and a temperature of 552 °C. When the reaction is complete, the pressure in the flask has dropped to 552 torr. What percentage of the carbon monoxide was converted to carbon dioxide?

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), Na(HCO3), pKb = 8, is kept in almost all chemistry labs as a safety chemical for cleaning up spills of strong acids or strong bases. Briefly describe how it can react with and partially neutralize both strong acids and strong bases. Na2(CO3) has a pKb = 4, while H2CO3 ahs a pKa = 6
