Rate LawsCurrent Lecture Ozone Depletiono Chapman cycle – proposed by British scientist in 1903 1st step is the photochemical dissociation of O2 to form oxygen atoms,which then react and form ozone, O3 Decrease of ozone concentration over Antarctica and North America Rates of Chemical Reactionso Reaction rate - ratio of the change in concentration to the elapsed timerate=change ∈concentrationelapsed time=∆[substance ]∆ tv∏¿ ∆ t∨rate=−∆ [reactant ]∆t=−∆[reactant ]vreact∆ trate=∆ [ product ]∆ t=∆ [ produc t ]¿o Example Problem What is the rate of O2 production if the rate of ozone consumption equals 2.5∗10−5mol L−1s−1 in the reaction of 2O3→3 O2?Rate=−∆ [O3]2 ∆ t=∆[O2]3 ∆ t2.5∗10−5mol L−1s−12=∆ [O2]3 ∆ t∆[O2]∆t=3 (2.5∗10−5mol L−1s−1)2¿3.8∗10−5mol L−1s−1o Average rate – two concentrations are measured at times separated by a finite difference, and the slope of the line between them gives the rateThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
