Question 37

Multiple Choice

The reaction between nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide is thought to occur by the mechanism 2NO2(g) →\rightarrow NO3(g) + NO(g)
K1,slow
NO3(g) + CO(g) →\rightarrow NO2(g) + CO2(g)
K2,fast
The rate law for this mechanism is


A) rate = k1k2[NO2]2[CO].
B) rate = (k1/k2) [NO2]2[CO].
C) rate = k1[NO3][NO].
D) rate = k2[NO3][CO].
E) rate = k1[NO2]2.
