For the reaction : 2NO_(2)+F_(2) to 2NO_(2)F, the experimental rate law is given as : Rate =K[NO_(2)][F_(2)], propose the mechanism.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The Rate `=K[NO_(2)][F_(2)]` implies that SLOW step of reaction uses only one molecule of each reactant to FORM product, thus we can write the mechanism as :
`ul{:(NO_(2)+F_(2)toNO_(2)F+F,,("slow")),(NO_(2)+FtoNO_(2)F,,("FAST")):}`
Overall reaction, `2NO_(2)+F_(2)to2NO_(2)F`
