Question
One of the reactions that occurs in polluted air in urban areas is 2NO2(3) + O3lg) – N2O5(3) + O2l3). Assume that a species with the
formula NOz is involved in the mechanism, and the observed rate law for the overall reaction is rate - k[NO2][03).
Propose a mechanism for this reaction that includes the species NO3 and is consistent with the observed rate law.
