A Possible Mechanism for the Reaction 2NO(g)+ O₂(g) 2NO₂(g)is

question 31

Multiple Choice

A possible mechanism for the reaction 2NO(g) + O₂(g)  2NO₂(g) is: 2NO(g) N₂O₂(g)
K₁,k₁',fast
N₂O₂(g) + O₂(g)  2NO₂(g)
K₂,slow
Application of the steady-state approximation gives

• A)[N₂O₂] = 0.
• B)k₁[NO]²  k₂[N₂O₂][O₂] = 0.
• C)[N₂O₂] = (k₁/k₂)[NO]².
• D)k₁[NO]²  k₁'[N₂O₂]  k₂[N₂O₂][O₂] = 0.
• E)[N₂O₂] = (k₁/k₁')[NO]².
