Consider the following reaction: 2NO(g)+2H2(g)→N2(g)+2H2O(g)2\text{NO}(\text{g}) + 2\text{H}_2(\text{g}) \rightarrow \text{N}_2(\text{g}) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) A proposed reaction mechanism is:
NO(g)+NO(g)\text{NO}(\text{g}) + \text{NO}(\text{g})⇌\rightleftharpoonsN2O2(g)\text{N}_2\text{O}_2(\text{g})fast\text{fast}
N2O2(g)+H2(g)\text{N}_2\text{O}_2(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2(\text{g})→\rightarrowN2O(g)+H2O(g)\text{N}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g})slow\text{slow}
N2O(g)+H2(g)\text{N}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2(\text{g})→\rightarrowN2(g)+H2O(g)\text{N}_2(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g})fast\text{fast}
What is the rate equation?
