Question

Which of the following are second-order reactions? a. C2H6 → 2 CH3 b. 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2 c. 2 HI → H2 + I2 d. 2 N2O → 2 N2 + O2 e.2 NO2 → 2 NO + O2

Answer 1

The answer is b, c, d, e

Step-by-step explanation:

b. 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2

r = k [N2O5]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

c. 2 HI → H2 + I2

r = k [HI]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

d. 2 N2O → 2 N2 + O2

r = k [N2O]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

e. 2 NO2 → 2 NO + O2

r = k [NO2]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction
