For the overall reaction: 2NO (g) +O2 (g) → 2NO2 (g), the following mechanism has been proposed: (1) 2NO (g) = N2O2 (g) (2) N2O2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 NO2 (g) a) Determine the rate law expression for this reaction. The steady-state approximation can be used for the N2O2 intermediate. b) Simplify the rate law expression if the rate constant for reaction (2) is much larger than that for the reverse reaction (1).
