fluorine p-orbitals that form the sigma bonding framework in square planar
(Dan) XeF.

1) Generate the reducible representation for this basis,
2) Reduce the representation into the component irreducible representations
in the point group
3) Identify the symmetries of the valence orbitals on Xe.
4) What interactions are expected between the Xe valence orbitals and the
SALCS? Indicate clearly bonding and non-bonding interactions,

Be sure to answer all parts. the catalytic destruction of ozone occurs via a two-step mechanism, where x can be any of several species: (1) x + o3 → xo + o2 [slow] (2) xo + o → x + o2 [fast] (a) write the overall reaction. o3 + o → 2 o2 o3 + xo → x + 2 o2 xo + x + o3 + o → xo + x + 2 o2 x + o3 → xo + o2 (b) write the rate law for each step (using k for the rate constant). reaction 1: reaction 2: k[x][o2] k[xo][o2] k[x][o3] k[xo][o3] k[xo][o2] k[x][o] k[x][o2] k[xo][o] (c) x acts as a and xo acts as a catalyst intermediate intermediate catalyst (d) high-flying aircraft release no into the stratosphere, which catalyzes this process. when o3 and no concentrations are 3 ă— 1012 molecule/cm3 and 9.9 ă— 109 molecule/cm3, respectively, what is the rate of o3 depletion? the rate constant k for the rate-determining step is 6 ă— 10â’15 (cm3)2/moleculeâ·s. give your answer in scientific notation. use one significant figure in your answer. ă— 10 molecule/s
