Question

I will give a metal for anyone who helps

Answer 1

For the reaction:
2NO2 → 2NO + O2
Suppose there are two possible mechanisms to define a particular reaction. These two mechanisms are proposed below:
1. NO2 → NO + O (slow)
O + NO2 → O2 + NO (fast)

2. 2NO2 → NO3 + NO (slow)
NO3 → NO + O2 (fast)

A. Identify the rate for each reaction and the order of each reaction

C. Explain how you could distinguish between the two reaction mechanisms
