Question
Of the three mechanisms listed below, which mechanism agrees with the overall
reaction and experimental rate law. Explain your reasoning.
Overall reaction: 2NO + Cl, 2NOCI
Experimentally Determined Rate Law: Rate = k[NO][CI,]
Mechanism 1:
NO + Cl, → NOCI, (fast)
NOCI, + NO → 2NOCI (slow)
Mechanism 2:
NO + CI, → NOCI + CI (slow)
NOCI + NO NOCI, (fast)
Mechanism 3:
NO + CI, → NOCI + CI (slow)
Cl+ NO NOCÍ (fast)
