Step 1: NO2(g) + F2(g) = NO, F2(g)
(fast)
Step 2
NO, F2(9)
NO, F(9) + F(g)
(slow)
Step 3:
F(g) + NO (9) NO, F(g)
(fast)
A proposed mechanism for the chemical reaction 2 NO2(g) + F (9)
2 NO, F(g)is shown above. Which of the following rate laws is consistent with this mechanism?
A
Rate = k/NO2][F]
B
Rate = k[NO][F)
С
Rate -- k[NO] F2)
D
Rate
k[NO, F,
