Suppose the reduction of nitric oxide proceeds by the following mechanism:
step
elementary reaction
rate constant
H,(g) + 2 NO(g) →
N20(g) + H,O(g)
k1
1
2
H,(g) + N,0(g) → N2(9) + H2O(g)
k2
Suppose also k,»k,. That is, the first step is much faster than the second.
Write the balanced
chemical equation for the
overall chemical reaction:
Write the experimentally-
observable rate law for the
overall chemical reaction.
rate
= k ||
Note: your answer should
not contain the
concentrations of any
intermediates.
Express the rate constant
k for the overall chemical
reaction in terms of k1, k2,
and (if necessary) the rate
constants k.1 and k.2 for
k
the reverse of the two
elementary reactions in
the mechanism.
