Peroxynitric acid (HOONO2) is an unstable molecule that decomposes to nitric acid and oxygen: 2HOONO2(aq) → 2HNO3(aq) + O2(g) When the concentration of peroxynitic acid is graphed against time, the resulting plot is curved, but if the logarithm of this concentration is plotted, we instead get a straight line. Based on this, which statement is true? a) This decay is a second order in peroxynitric acid. b) The slope of the straight-line graph is the rate constant. c) One needs the concentration of peroxynitric acid to calculate its half-life. d) The rate law appears to be of the form -Δ[HOONO2]/Δt = k[HOONO2].
