Question
The reaction below was determined experimentally to be first order
in both NO2 and O3:
2NO2(g) + O3(g) → N2O5(g) + O2(g)
Which proposed mechanism(s) is/are consistent with the
observed rate law?
Mechanism I:
O3 40 + O2
O + NO2 → NO3
NO2 + NO3 → N2O5
Step 1
(fast, equilibrium)
Step 2
(slow)
Step 3
(fast)
Mechanism II:
Step 1
O3 + NO2
NO3 + O2
slow
Step 2
NO2 + NO3 → N2O5
fast
Neither I and II
Il only
O I only
Both I and II
