- 2' P17E.6 The oxidation of NO to NO 2 2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g), proceeds by the following mechanism: NO + NO → N₂O₂ k₁ N2O2 NO NO K = N2O2 + O2 → NO2 + NO₂ Ко Verify that application of the steady-state approximation to the intermediate N2O2 results in the rate law d[NO₂] _ 2kk₁[NO][O₂] = dt k+k₁₂[O₂]arrow_forwardPLEASE ANSWER BOTH i) and ii) !!!!arrow_forwardE17E.2(a) The following mechanism has been proposed for the decomposition of ozone in the atmosphere: 03 → 0₂+0 k₁ O₁₂+0 → 03 K →> 2 k₁ Show that if the third step is rate limiting, then the rate law for the decomposition of O3 is second-order in O3 and of order −1 in O̟.arrow_forward
