Trying to find the right answer to this..

Rate of the reaction depends upon the slowest step of the elementary processes. Mechanism is: NO + O 2 → NO 3 (fast) ...(i) NO 3 + NO → NO 2 + NO 2 (slow) ...(ii) Rate law is: Rate k[NO 3 ] [NO] but NO 3 is essentially NO + O 2 So, rate = k[NO] 2 [O 2 ].

92.
Nitric Oxide. NO reacts with oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide.
2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)
The rate law for this reaction is
rate = k[NO]² [O₂]
Propose a mechanism for the above reaction.

Rate of the reaction depends upon the slowest step of the elementary processes.
Mechanism is:
NO + O₂ → NO₃ (fast) ...(i)
NO₃ + NO → NO₂ + NO₂ (slow) ...(ii)
Rate law is: Rate k[NO₃] [NO] but NO₃ is essentially NO + O₂So, rate = k[NO]² [O₂].
