Ozone gas, O3 decomposes into O2 in presence of NO and gaseous O atoms The following data was obtained Determine the experimental rate law for the reaction given the following data and the value for the rate constant
O 3= 2.3 x 10^-4 atm NO = 1.6 x 10^-4 O = 1.5 x 10^-4 rate1 = 2.6 x 10-3
O3 = 2.3 x 10^-4 NO = .8 x 10^-4 O = 1.5 x 10^-6 rate 2 = 1.3 x 10^-3
O 3 = 4.6 x a0^-4 NO = 1.6 x 10^-4 O = 1.5 x 10^-6 rate 3 = 5.2 x 10^-3
O3 = 4.6 x 10^-4 NO = 1.6 x 10^-4 O = 3.0 x 10^-6 rate 4 = 5.2 x 10^-3

Consider a system consisting of a cylinder with a movable piston containing 106 gas molecules at 298 K at a volume of 1 L. Consider the following descriptions of this system:
A. Initial system as described above.
B. Starting from the initial system, the volume of the container is changed to 2 L and the temperature to 395 K.
C. Starting from the initial system, a combination reaction occurs at constant volume and temperature.
D. Starting from the initial system, the gas reacts completely to produce 107 gas molecules at 395 K in a volume of 2 L.
Arrange the descriptions in order of increasing number of microstates in the resulting system. Explain the rationale for your ranking.
Is this ranking the same order as if you ranked the systems according to increasing entropy?

1. There is nothing like the smell of BBQ in the summertime. Many people use propane gas Barbeques to cook the perfect steak. Here is the reaction that is occurring while the steak sizzles on the grill:
C3H8(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) + H2O (g)
The balanced reaction has a DHorxn = -2217 kJ. If a steak must absorb 7.2x10-4 kJ to reach a perfect medium rare, and if only 15% of the heat produced by the barbeque is actually absorbed by the steak, what mass of H2O is emitted into the atmosphere when this steak is cooked? (Hint: don’t forget to balance the reaction)
2. A student performed this lab with a marshmallow. He used 50.0 g of water and recorded a temperature of 21°C before heating and 30°C after heating. The marshmallow and fork weighed 21.5 g before heating and 21.1 g after heating. What was the total energy (in J) of the marshmallow? What was the energy per gram of the marshmallow?

Many years ago, I was obliged to polish to a mirror finish the leather shoes and belt of a certain sergeant to a mirror finish. The only way of achieving the desired result was to use copious quantities of spit, a trick which was taught to me by various people who had spent time in the army. My question is ... why does spit enhance the shine of shoe polish? And perhaps a related question ... modern shoes don't seem to require polishing. What surface finish is applied in the manufacturing process which gives an everlasting shine?

X-rays of wavelength .0960nm are diffracted by a metallic crystal, angle of first order (n=1), is measured to be 17.8. What is the distance (in pm) between the layers of atoms responsible for diffraction?
I do this:
96pm / 2sin17.8 and I keep getting ~173.9pm
The answer is supposed to be 157pm. What am I doing wrong?

1. Why is the EDTA salt dried only at 80o C (i.e., why not 100o C)?
2. Suppose you did not heed our warnings and stored your EDTA solution in a conventional glass bottle (instead of a plastic bottle) -- how would this affect your final results (i.e., would they be high, low, or unchanged)? Explain.
3. Why is it not necessary that the plastic storage bottles be dry before transferring the EDTA for storage ?
4. Would the titration of Ca2+ with EDTA at a pH of 5 be feasible? Why or why not?
