In your reading, perhaps you saw that in 1995, three chemists were awarded the nobel prize for their studies
involving the ozone layer. first, in 1970, scientist, paul cruzen, hypothesized that nitrogen oxides could
participate in the destruction of ozone. he was concerned that high-flying jet aircraft, such as the concorde,
could be the culprit that created the nitrogen oxide. he proposed the following mechanism to show how these
compounds were involved in the destruction of ozone:
step 1: no(g) + o3(g) – no2(g) + o2(g)
step 2: no2(g) + o(g) -- no(g) + o2(g)
the rate equation for this reaction was found to be:
rate of reaction = k[no][03]
looking at this rate law, which of the above steps would be the rate determining step and why?

geosphere and hydrosphere.

this is because the geosphere has to do with geological events, while the hydrosphere controls all water on earth.

you did not give any options thus this is the best answer i can give to you with this little information you have given

> they are both natural and not man made

> they can be tracked and predicted by the right tools

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
