O KINETICS AND EQUILIBRIUM Writing the rate law implied by Suppose the formation of nitrogen dioxide proceeds by the following mechanism: lementary reaction rate constant 2NO (g) N,0, (g) stepel 2 N202 (8)+O2 (g) 2NO2 ) k2 Suppose alsok k2. That is, the first step is much slower than the second. Write the balanced chemical equation for the overall chemical reaction Write the experimentally- observable rate law for the overall chemical reaction. Note: your answer should not contain the concentrations of any intermediates. not rate
Solution
Balanced chemical equation is
2 NO (g) + O 2 (g)......................> 2 NO 2 (g)
As K1 << K2.
so K1 step is slow step and hence it is rate determining step.
Rate law is
Rate = K[NO]^2
