A reaction, 2NO (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO, (g), was run in a laboratory setting. Given the following plausible mechanism, answer the following questions: Step 1: NO (g) + NO (g) N,02 (g) (fast) Step 2: N,O2 (g) + O2 (g) 2NO, (g) (slow) (i) Determine the rate law for the above reaction. (ii) Identify the reaction intermediates. If the speeds of the elementary steps were switched (i.e. elementary step 1 was slow and step 2 was fast), could this reaction mechanism still be plausible? Explain your (ii) answer.
