One of the components of smog is ozone, O3, a colorless, toxic gas. It is a very strong oxidizing agent and causes respiratory illnesses. Ozone is produced in the lower atmosphere due to the catalytic effect of nitric oxide, NO, a byproduct of the combustion process in car engines. However, in the upper atmosphere ozone is a very useful gas, because it absorbs ultraviolet radiation and protects the earth from this high energy, damaging radiation. It is referred to as the ozone layer. This ozone layer is depleted by the catalytic action of gases like Freon, which are commonly used in refrigerators and air conditioners. Chemically these gases are unreactive and rise into the upper atmosphere. The high energy radiation in the upper atmosphere produces very reactive chlorine atoms according to the reaction below:
Step 1: NO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) β NO2(g) (slow)
Step 2: NO2(g) β NO(g) + O(g) (fast)
Step 3: O2(g) + O(g) β O3(g) (fast)
Mark each of the following statements as either True or False:
1) NO is a catalyst in this reaction mechanism.
2) The sum of the three steps is equal to the overall reaction: 3/2 O2(g) β O3(g). 3) Step 3 of the mechanism is bimolecular.
4) NO is an intermediate formed in this reaction mechanism.
5) The rate law of this mechanism is rate = k[O2][O].
6) Step 2 is a unimolecular.

In an effort to address concerns about global warming, a power plant in portland,oregon is designed to take all of its exhaust gases from its boilers and recycle the co2 using the solvay process to make sodium hydrogen carbonate. the reaction is shown below. nh3(g) + h2o(l) + co2(g) + nacl(aq) β nahco3(aq) + nh4cl(aq) how many liters each of nh3 and co2 (both at stp) would be consumed to produce 3.00 kg of sodium bicarbonate? the volume of both nh3 and co2 would be

You exhale co2 which is produced during cellular respiration. co2 combines with the water in your blood's plasma to make up one half of the body's most important buffer pair, carbonic acid. the more physical activity you engage in, the more co2 your body is producing. you can see this by putting some of the cabbage indicator in a glass and then blowing bubbles into it through a straw. can you see a change in the color of the indicator?
