Question

The rate law for

2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2(g)

is rate = k[NO]2[O2].

The following mechanisms have been proposed:

I. 2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2(g)

II.2 NO(g) ⇌ N2O2(g)[fast]
N2O2(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2(g) [slow]

III.2 NO(g) ⇌ N2(g) + O2(g)[fast]
N2(g) + 2 O2(g) → 2 NO2(g) [slow]

(a) Which of these mechanisms is consistent with the rate law? Check all that apply.
I.
II.
III.
None of the above
