## Understanding Reaction MechanismsGiven the following mechanism:**Step 1:** \( 2 \text{NO} \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2\text{O}_2 \)**Step 2:** \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{O} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (slow)**Step 3:** \( \text{N}_2\text{O} + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \)### Questions:#### a. Determine the overall reaction.The overall reaction can be found by adding the individual steps and canceling out any intermediates:1. \( 2 \text{NO} \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2\text{O}_2 \)2. \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{O} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \)3. \( \text{N}_2\text{O} + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \)Intermediates: \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_2 \) and \( \text{N}_2\text{O} \)Combining:\[ 2 \text{NO} + 2 \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \]#### b. List any intermediates that are in this reaction mechanism.Intermediates: - \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_2 \)- \( \text{N}_2\text{O} \)#### c. Determine the rate law. Note: Intermediates may not appear in rate laws.Given that Step 2 is the slow step, it is the rate-determining step. We write the rate law based on the slow step:\[ \text{Rate} = k_2[\text{N}_2\text{O}_2][\text

Overall reaction is just the summation of individual steps.
