Problem 14.27

A reaction $$\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}$$ obeys the following rate law: Rate = $$k[\mathrm{~B}]^{2}$$.

(a) If [A] is doubled, how will the rate change? Will the rate constant change?

(b) What are the reaction orders for A and B? What is the overall reaction order?

(c) What are the units of the rate constant?

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1 of 5) Although N2, O2, and atomic oxygen absorb photons having wavelengths shorter than 240 nm, ozone, O3, is the key absorber of photons whose wavelengths range from 240 to 310 nm, in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, as illustrated in Figure 18.4. Ozone in the upper atmosphere protects us from these harmful high-energy photons, which would otherwise penetrate to Earth’s surface. Let’s consider how ozone forms in the upper atmosphere and how it absorbs photons. By the time radiation from the Sun reaches an altitude of 90 km above Earth’s surface, most of the short-wavelength radiation capable of photoionization has been absorbed. Nevertheless, radiation capable of dissociating the O2 molecule is sufficiently intense for photodissociation of O2 (Equation 18.1) to remain important down to an altitude of 30 km. In the region between 30 and 90 km, the concentration of O2 is much greater than the concentration of atomic oxygen. Consequently, the oxygen atoms formed by photodissociation of O2 in this region frequently collide with O2 molecules and form ozone:
