When the rate for the reaction 2 NO + 02 2 NO2 was studied, the rate was found to double when the O, concentration was doubled while the NO concentration was unchanged. It was also found that the rate quadruples when the NO concentration is doubled while the Oz concentration is unchanged. a. What is the rate law expression for this reaction? Place this answer clearly labeled within the answer box in the quiz. Two mechanisms were proposed for this reaction as shown below. PROPOSAL I Step 1: NO + O2 NO, (fast) Step 2: NO + NO: NO2 + NO, (slow, RDS) PROPOSAL II Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 NO + NO Oz + NO2 NO, NO2 N0. NO2 + NO2 (fast) (slow, RDS) (fast) b. Write a predicted rate law for each proposed mechanism. In your predicted rate law, make sure no intermediates are present in the overall expression. Show your work or no credit will be awarded. Show your answer for this question on the scratch paper clearly labeled. c. Which proposed mechanism I or II agrees with the rate law expression that you determined above? You must also explain your reasoning or no credit will be given. Place your answer on the scratch paper clearly labeled.
