Suppose the formation of dinitrogen pentoxide proceeds by the following mechanism:

step elementary reaction rate constant
1
NO2(g)+O3(g)->NO3(g)+O2(g)
k1
2
NO3(g)+NO2(g)->N2O5(g)
k2

Suppose also k1 ≪ k2. That is, the first step is much slower than the second.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the overall chemical reaction.

Write the experimentally-observable rate law for the overall chemical reaction.Note: your answer should not contain the concentrations of any intermediates.
