The Experimental Rate Law for the Decomposition of Nitrous Oxide

question 11

Multiple Choice

The experimental rate law for the decomposition of nitrous oxide (N₂O) to N₂ and O₂ is Rate = k[N₂O]². Two mechanisms are proposed:
I. N₂O → N₂ + O
N₂O + O → N₂ + O₂
II. 2N₂O N₄O₂
N₄O₂ → 2N₂ + O₂
Which of the following could be a correct mechanism?

• A) Mechanism I with the second step as the rate-determining step.
• B) Mechanism II with the second step as the rate-determining step.
• C) Mechanism I with the first step as the rate-determining step.
• D) Two of these could be correct.
• E) None of these could be correct.
