Question

Consider the following chain-reaction mechanism for the high-temperatureformation of nitric oxide, i.e., the Zeldovich mechanism:

O+ N2 → NO + N
N + O2 → NO+ O

Write out expressions for d[NO] / dt and d[N] / dt.

Answer 1

Answer: hello attached below is the properly written chain reaction to your question

answer :

d[NO] / dt =
`k_(1f) [O] [N_(2)] + K_(2f) [N][O_(2) ] + K_(3f)[N][OH]`

d[N] / dt =
`k_(1f) [O] [N_(2)] + K_(2f) [N][O_(2) ] - K_(3f)[N][OH]`

Step-by-step explanation:

write out expressions for d[NO] / dt and d[N] / dt

Given :

properly written chain reaction ( attached below)

Expression for d[NO] / dt can be written as

`k_(1f) [O] [N_(2)] + K_(2f) [N][O_(2) ] + K_(3f)[N][OH]`

Expression for d[N] / dt can be written as

`k_(1f) [O] [N_(2)] + K_(2f) [N][O_(2) ] - K_(3f)[N][OH]`
