Which of the following are true for the following two reactions at 25°c: reaction 1: no(g) + o(g)  no2(g) reaction 2: no2(g) + no2(g)  n2o4(g) hint: no2 has the structural formula ono, and n2o4 has the structural formula o2nno2 i: for reaction 1, the following collision has the correct orientation to react: no   o ii: for reaction 2, the following collision has the correct orientation to react: o2n   no2 iii: assuming activation energies are equal, reaction 1 is predicted to have a higher rate than reaction 2 a) only i b) only ii c) i and iii d) ii and iii e) i, ii, and iii

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
