6. The addition of NO accelerates the decomposition of ?2?, possibly by the
following mechanism:
??(?) + ?2?(?) → ?2
(?) + ??2(?)
2 ??2
(?) → 2 ??(?) + ?2(?)
a. What is the chemical equation for the overall reaction? Show how the
two steps can be added to give the overall equation.
b. Is NO serving as a catalyst or an intermediate in this reaction?
c. If experiments show that during the decomposition of ?2?, ??2 does
not accumulate in measurable quantities, does this rule out the
proposed mechanism
