question 63

Multiple Choice

Given the following proposed mechanism,predict the rate law for the overall reaction. 2 NO₂ + Cl₂ → 2 NO₂Cl (overall reaction)
Mechanism
NO₂ + Cl₂ → NO₂Cl + Cl slow
NO₂ + Cl → NO₂Cl fast

• A) Rate = k[NO₂][Cl₂]
• B) Rate = k[NO₂]²[Cl₂]²
• C) Rate = k[NO₂] [Cl]²
• D) Rate = k[NO₂Cl][Cl]
• E) Rate = k[NO₂Cl]²[Cl]
