Let's spend some time with this reaction of NO2, an important compound in atmospheric chemistry (it's a pollutant and contributes to the formation of acid rain), in manufacturing explosives, and in fueling rockets: 2NO,(9) – 2NO(g) + 0;(9) It follows this reaction mechanism: NO,+NO 2NO+0, 2NO, Progress of reaction 1. Indicate the activation energy for the overall reaction on the graph. (You may want to use a line for the sake of clarity.) 2. Write the elementary reactions that make up the reaction mechanism. 3. What would you propose as the rate law for this reaction? Energy
