The reaction of NO gas with H2 gas has the following rate law: Rate = k[H2][NO]2. A proposed mechanism is:
Step 1: H2(g) + 2NO(g) N2O(g) + H2O(g)
Step 2: N2O(g) + H2(g) N2(g) + H2O(g)
What is the molecularity of steps 1 and 2, and which step is the slow, or rate-determining step?
A) 2; 2; step 1
B) 4; 4; step 2
C) 3; 2; step 1
D) 3; 2; step 2
E) Cannot be determined from the information provided.
