Question
The oxidation of NO(g) to NO2(g):
2 NO(g) + O2(g)
kobs
2 NO2(g)
A mechanism of steps (a) - (c) is proposed below, all steps are elementary:
k3
(a)
NO(g) + NO(g)
→ N2O2(g)
k-3
(b)
N2O2(g) → NO(g) + NO(g)
k4
(c)
N2O2(g) + O2(g)
2 NO2(g)
Apply the steady-state approximation, find out the reaction rate law when the initial
concertation of [02] is high. Which step is rate-determining?
