Question 38

Multiple Choice

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with carbon monoxide to produce nitrogen monoxide and carbon dioxide.
2NO2(g) NO3(g) +NO(g) (fast,equilibrium) NO3(g) +CO(g) NO2(g) +CO2(g) (slow) \begin{array}{l}2 \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NO}_{3}(g) +\mathrm{NO}(g) &(fast, equilibrium) \\\mathrm{NO}_{3}(g) +\mathrm{CO}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g) +\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) &(slow) \end{array}

What is a rate law that is consistent with the proposed mechanism?


A) rate = k[NO2]2×[CO]× [NO]-1
B) rate = k[NO2]2×[CO]
C) rate = k[NO2]×[CO]
D) rate = k[NO3]×[CO]
E) rate = k[NO2]2
