Question

The rate law for the reaction 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) →2NOCl(g)
 is given by R = k[NO][Cl2]
 If the following is the mechanism for the reaction,
 NO(g) + Cl2(g) → NOCl2(g)

NOCl2(g) + NO(g) →2NOCl(g)

which of the following statements accurately describes this reaction? Check all that apply.

  • 2nd order reaction
  • Both steps are termolecular.
  • The molecularity of the first step is 1.
  • Doubling [NO] would quadruple the rate.
  • Cutting [Cl2] in half would decrease the rate by a factor of two.
  • The first step is the slow step
