Question

The experimentally determined rate law for the reaction:

2N­2O5(g) ® 4NO2(g) + O2(g)        is Rate = k[N2O5].

Does the following proposed mechanism agree with the rate law? Explain your answer.

 

2N2O5(g) ® 2NO3(g) + 2NO2(g)           (slow)

 

2NO3(g)  ® 2NO2(g) + 2O(g)                (fast)

 

2O(g)   ®       O2(g)                               (fast)
