A proposed mechanism for the gas phase reaction between nitrogen monoxide and oxygen is as follows:
..... step 1 ..... fast: ...... NO + O2 <-------> NO3
..... step 2 ..... slow: .... NO3 + NO ------> 2 NO2
(1) What is the equation for the overall reaction? Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank.
_________+________-------->___________ +__________
(2) Which species acts as a catalyst? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: __________
(3) Which species acts as a reaction intermediate? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: ________
(4) Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanism.
Use the form k[A]m[B]n , where '1' is understood (so don't write it if it's a '1') for m, n etc.
Rate = __________
