Consider the following proposed reaction mechanism: Step 1: NO + NO → N202 Step 2: N202 + H2 → N2O + H2O Step 3: N2O + H2→N2 + H2O The second step is the slow (rate-determining) step. Answer the following questions: Question 36: What is the correct rate law for the overall reaction? rate = k[N2O2][H₂] rate = k[N2O2]²[H2] rate = K[NO]²[H2]² ◇ rate = k[NO]²[H2] Check

Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.
