Question
![7. Let's consider the reaction: 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g)
a) Explain why this reaction is unlikely to be an elementary step.
b) A proposed mechanism is:
2 H2O(g) + N2(g)
Step 1:
2 NO(g) = N2O2(g)
fast forward (kı) and reverse (k.1)
Step 2:
N2O2(g) + H2(g) → N2(g) + H2O2(g)
slow (k2)
Step 3:
H2O2(g) + H2(g) → 2 H2O(g)
fast (k3)
Using this mechanism, determine the rate law of the reaction as a function of [NO] and [H2].
c) Express the rate constant of the reaction as a function of the rate constants of the elementary
steps: kı, k.1, k2, and k3.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F06272fd0-237e-47e6-baa8-184caf0c46b6%2F7286535e-9058-468d-954d-fb39d2d2b6b2%2Fz2o6m3wj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
