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. |
