When the rate for the reaction 2NO+ 0 2 NO, was studied, the role was found to double when the O₂ concentration was doubled while the NO concentration was unchanged. It was also found that the rate quadruples when the NO concentration is doubled while the O, concentration is unchanged.

When the rate for the reaction
2NO+ 0
2 NO,
was studied, the rate was found to double when the O₂ concentration was doubled while
the NO concentration was unchanged. It was also found that the rate quadruples when
the NO concentration is doubled while the O, concentration is unchanged.
o What is the rate law expression for this reaction? P
Two mechanisms were proposed for this reaction as shown below.
PROPOSAL I
Step 1:
Step 2:
NO + O₂
NO NO
PROPOSAL II

NO, (alem, RDS)
(slow, RDS)
(test)
NO₂ (fast)
b. Write a predicted rate low for each proposed mechanism. In your predicted rate law,
make sure no intermediates are present in the overall expression
c. Which proposed mechanism I or II agrees with the rate kw expression that you
determined above? You must also explain your reasoning or no credit will be given Place
