When the chemical reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)→2NO2(g) is carried out under certain conditions, the rate of disappearance of NO(g) is 5.0×10−5 Ms−1. What is the rate of disappearance of O2(g) under the same conditions?

A: Because two molecules of NO are consumed per molecule of O2, the rate of disappearance of O2(g) is 2.5×10−5 Ms−1.

B: Because two molecules of NO are consumed per molecule of O2, the rate of disappearance of O2(g) is 1.0×10−4 Ms−1.

C: Because the rate depends on [NO]2 and [O2], the rate of disappearance of O2(g) is 2.5×10−9 Ms−1.

D: Because the O2(g) is under the same experimental conditions as NO, it is consumed at the same rate of 5.0×10−5 Ms−1.

Option A is correct.

Because two molecules of NO are consumed per molecule of O2, the rate of disappearance of O2(g) is 2.5×10−5 Ms−1.

Explanation:

2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the amount of reactant used up or the amount of products formed in the reaction.

From the chemical balance, 2 moles of NO gives 1 mole of O2, hence, it is evident that 2 molecules of NO is consumed per 1 molecule of O2.

Hence, the rate of consumption of O2 is exactly half of the rate of consumption of NO.

Rate of consumption of O2 = (1/2) × Rate of consumption of NO = (1/2) × 5.0×10−5 Ms−1

= (2.5×10−5) Ms−1

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.

c) should be the answer.
