Answer to Question #171751 in General Chemistry for lei

Question

Consider the two‑step mechanism for the destruction of ozone.

step 1: O3(g)+HO(g)⟶HO2(g)+O2(g)

 step 2: HO2(g)+O(g)⟶HO(g)+O2(g)

identify the catalyst in the two-step mechanism.

(a)HO

(b)O3

(c)HO2

(d)O

(e)O2

Identify the type of catalyst.

(a)heterogeneous catalyst

(b)homogeneous catalyst

Answer 1

Catalyst is the substance which change rate of chemical reaction.

Catalyst = [HO]

Type of Catalyst = [ Homogeneous]
