10. The experimental rate law for the decomposition of nitrous oxide (N₂O) to N₂ and O₂ is Rate = k[N₂O]². Two mechanisms are proposed: I. NO → N,+0 N₂O +0 N₂ + O₂ II. 2N₂ON40₂ N4O₂ → 2N₂ + O₂ Which of the following could be a correct mechanism? A) Mechanism I with the first step as the rate-determining step. B) Mechanism I with the second step as the rate-determining step. C) Mechanism II with the second step as the rate-determining step. Two of these could be correct. None of these could be correct. D)
