Question

2NO2(g)+F2(g)→NO2F(g)ΔH∘rxn=−284kJ/molrxn

NO2(g) and F2(g) can react to produce NO2F(g), as represented above. A proposed mechanism for the reaction has two elementary steps, as shown below.

Step 1: NO2+F2→NO2F+F (slow)
     
Step 2: NO2+F→NO2F (fast)

(a) Write a rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with the proposed mechanism.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The rate law of a reaction is determined experimentally by measuring the rate of reaction. In rate law, the sum of the power of the concentration term is known as the order of the reaction.
