chemical kinetics of no and oxygen

..

Introduction - Processes by which substances are transformed to one or several products are called chemical reactions. Chemical processes that occur in the presence of light, like sunlight, are called photochemical reactions. These processes can occur naturally or under controll..

. Transition State explains the rate of reaction in term of formation of a transition state of reacting molecules. The formation of transition state requires energy of activation. Transition state theory connects kinetic rates with thermodynamic properties of reactants and the transition ..

Neutral character - Oxygen is neither acidic nor basic. Both blue and red litmus are unaffected by oxygen..

a) With sodium - Introduce a small piece of sodium metal into a jar of oxygen. It combines with oxygen to form sodium peroxide. Allow a piece of sodium to burn in a deflagrating spoon, and then introduce it into another jar of oxygen. It burns with a brilliant yellow f..

An example of sharing of two pairs of electrons (Double bond). Two atoms of oxygen share two pairs of electrons to form one molecule of oxygen (Fig. 3.5). Note :..

When heated in air or oxygen, sulphur first melts and then burns with a blue flame to form sulphur dioxide and some traces of sulphur trioxid..

a) With hydrogen - Hydrogen burns in oxygen to form water vapor. A jet of hydrogen is burnt in oxygen, in an inverted funnel, as shown in figure (Fig.13.10). The product obtained, is sucked out through a test tube, kept immersed in cold water. The vapor condenses in the test tub..

. To sum it up, the kinetic theory of matter is based upon the following points: Matter consists of molecules. These are the smallest particles, which are capable of free existence and retain all the chemical properties of the parent substance. The molecules are always in a stat..
