A reaction occurs in the following steps :(i) NO2(g) + F2(g) → NO2F(g) + F(g)(slow)(ii) F(g) + NO2(g) → NO2F(g)(fast)(a) Write the equation of overall reaction. (b) Write down rate law. (c) Identify the reaction intermediate.

Answer»

(a) The addition of two steps gives the overall reaction as

2NO2(g) + F2(g) → 2NO2F(g)

(b) Step (i) is slow. The rate law of the reaction is predicted from its stoichiometry. 

Thus, rate = k[NO2] [F2]

(c) F is produced in step 

(i) and consumed in step 

(ii) hence F is the reaction intermediate.
