The reaction between nitric oxide and bromine is described by the following chemical equation: 2NO (g) + Br, (g) – 2NOB (g) Suppose a two-step mechanism is proposed for this reaction, beginning with this elementary reaction: NO (g) + Br, (g) NOB12 (g) Suppose also that the second step of the mechanism should be bimolecular.
