A proposed mechanism for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide consists of three elementary steps: (1) H₂O2(g) →>> 2OH(g) (2) H₂O2(g) + OH(g) → H₂O(g) + HO₂(g) (3) HO₂(g) + OH(g) → H₂O(g) + O₂(g) If the rate law for the reaction is first order in H₂O2, which step in the mechanism is the rate-determining step? O Step 1 O None of the steps O Step 3 O Impossible to determine Steps 1 and 2 O All of the steps O Step 2 Hint: The slowest step in a mechanism determines the rate law. From each elementary reaction we can write a rate-law expression. Submit Question
Nitrogen Pentoxide Decomposition Consider the decomposition of nitrogen pentoxide into nitrogen dioxide and oxygen, N2O5 → 2 NO2 + ½ O2 R1 This is not an elementary reaction and its mechanism consists of the following set of elementary reactions. N2O5 → NO3 + NO2 R1a NO2 + NO3 → N2O5 R1b NO2 + NO3 → NO2 + O2 + NO R1c NO + NO3 → 2NO2 R1d The rate constants for the reactions R1a, R1b, R1c and R1d are denoted as k1, k2, k3 and k4, respectively. Here, NO and NO3 are regarded as the intermediate species. (a) Derive the rate expression for the overall reaction R1 from its mechanism (R1a-d) using the pseudo- steady state approximation. (b) What is the overall order of the reaction? Explanation: Pseudo steady state is similar to the rate determination done for catalytic reactions
