The reaction of NO gas with H2 gas has the following rate law: Rate = k[H2][NO]2. A proposed mechanism is: Step 1: H2 (g) +2 NO (g) → N2O (g) + H2O (g) Step 2: N2O (g) + H2 (g) → N2 (g) + H2O (g) What is the molecularity of steps 1 and 2? Which step is the rate- determining step?

The reaction of NO gas with H2 gas has the following rate law: Rate = k[H2][NO]2. A proposed mechanism is:

Step 1: H2 (g) +2 NO (g) → N2O (g) + H2O (g)

Step 2: N2O (g) + H2 (g) → N2 (g) + H2O (g)

What is the molecularity of steps 1 and 2? Which step is the rate- determining step?
