The reaction involving oxidation of nitric oxide to nitrous oxide follows the mechanism ____(a) (frac{-dO_2}{dt}) = k[NO2]^2[O2](b) (frac{-dO_2}{dt}) = k[NO2][O2](c) (frac{-dO_2}{dt}) = k[NO2]^2[O2]^2(d) (frac{-dO_2}{dt}) = k[NO2][O2]^2 |

Answer» The correct option is (a) (frac{-dO_2}{dt}) = k[NO2]^2[O2] Explanation: In the first step, 2 molecules of NO form N2O2. Further oxidation of N2O2 is the slowest step and it is the rate determining step. |
