23.2a A slightly different mechanism for the decomposition of N₂O5 from that in Exercise 23.1b has also been proposed. It differs only in the last step, which is replaced by (3) NO+NO3 → NO₂ + NO₂ k₂ Show that this mechanism leads to the same overall rate law. 23.2b Consider the following mechanism for the thermal decomposition of R₂: (1) R₂ → R+R (2) R+ R₂ → PB+R' (3) R' → PA+R (4) R+R →PA + PB where R₂, PA, PÅ are stable hydrocarbons and R and R' are radicals. Find the dependence of the rate of decomposition of R₂ on the concentration of R₂. 1/2 -k₁ [R₂]-k₂ 23.2 d[R₂] dt k₁ k₁ [R₂]³/2.
