Question
Consider the oxidation of nitrogen monoxide with the observed rate
law below.
Rate = k(no)°C02)
2 NO (g)+O2cg) →2 NO z (g>
2NO2 (g)
The proposed two-step mechanism is:
I. NO (g) * Oz (g) = N03 c9)
(Fast, reversible)
I NO3 (9) + NO cg> →
2 NO2(9) (Slow)
D. Write rate laws for the elementary steps. Give the molecularity for
each step.
E. Using rate laws from part d., determine a reasonable rate law for the
overall process, including values for reaction orders. Is the mechanism
reasonable and consistent with the observed rate law? Fully explain and
show ALL work.
