Question 64

Short Answer

The rate law for the reaction2 H2 (g) + 2 NO (g) \rightarrow N2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)is rate = k[H2 ][NO]2. Which of the following mechanisms can be ruled out because the derived rate law is NOT consistent with the observed rate law?Mechanism 1H2 + NO \rightarrow N + H2O (slow)N + NO \rightarrow N2 + O (fast)O + H2 \rightarrow H2O (fast)Mechanism 2H2 + 2 NO \rightarrow N2O + H2O (slow)N2O + H2 \rightarrow N2 + H2O (fast)Mechanism 32 NO  The rate law for the reaction2 H<sub>2</sub> (g) + 2 NO (g)  \rightarrow  N<sub>2</sub> (g) + 2 H<sub>2</sub>O (g)is rate = k[H<sub>2</sub> ][NO]<sup>2</sup>.
