Nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide are found in photochemical smog. Nitrogen dioxide is formed from nitrogen monoxide in the exhaust of automobile engines. A possible mechanism for this reaction is given below. What is the rate law predicted by the mechanism?
Reaction: 2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g)
Step 1 (fast) : NO + NO N2O2
Step 2 (slow) : N2O2 + O2 2NO2
A) Rate = k[NO]2[O2]
B) Rate = k[NO]2
C) Rate = k[NO][O2]
D) Rate = k[NO2]2
E) Rate =
