NO and NO2 react at 25 °C to give N2O3 as shown in the equation. NO+ NO2N2O3ΔH = –7.2 kJ mol–1 The reaction is reversible and reaches equilibrium in a closed system. shows how the rate of the forward reaction changes with time. Initially, the rate of the reverse reaction is zero. Complete to sketch how the rate of the reverse reaction changes with time. rate of reaction time State how the position of equilibrium changes, if at all, when the reaction takes place at 100 °C. Explain your answer. Assume the pressure remains constant. Table 2.1 shows the composition of an equilibrium mixture of NO, NO2and N2O3at 101 kPa. Table 2.1 gas number of moles at equilibrium / mol NO 0.605 NO2 0.605 N2O3 0.390 Calculate Kp , the equilibrium constant with respect to partial pressures. Deduce the units of Kp. Kp = units Identify one natural process and one man-made process that cause the formation of atmospheric NO and NO2. natural process man-made process NO2 is a brown gas that can be used to form nitric acid. NO2 is a free radical. Define free radical. NO2 has a catalytic role in the oxidation of atmospheric sulfur dioxide. Write equations to show the catalytic role of NO2 in this oxidation. State one environmental consequence of the oxidation of atmospheric sulfur dioxide. A student titrates nitric acid with a base to form a solution containing aqueous magnesium nitrate. Identify a base that the student could use. The student evaporates the water to obtain magnesium nitrate solid. When this solid is heated it decomposes. Write an equation for the decomposition of magnesium nitrate. State how the thermal stability of Group 2 nitrates changes down the group.

Phosphoric(acid, H3PO4, is used in both inorganic and organic reactions. H3PO4 is made in a two-step process from phosphorus. step 1 Phosphorus reacts with an excess of oxygen to form a white solid. step 2 The white solid then reacts with water to form H3PO4. Write an equation for each step. step 1 step 2 H3PO4 is a weak Brønsted–Lowry acid. Define weak Brønsted–Lowry acid. H3PO4 is also formed in the process shown in reaction 1. reaction 1 4H3PO3 3H3PO4 + PH3 Table 3.1 shows some relevant thermodynamic data. Table 3.1 compound enthalpy change of formation, ΔHf / kJ mol–1 H3PO3 –972 H3PO4 –1281 PH3 +9 Define enthalpy change of formation. Use the data in Table 3.1 to calculate the enthalpy change, ΔH r , of reaction 1. ΔH r = kJ mol–1 Explain why reaction 1 is a disproportionation reaction.
