The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of NO with Br ₂ to form NOBr : NO ( g )+ Br ₂( ~g ) NOBr ₂( ~g ) NOBr ₂( ~g )+ NO ( g ) 2 NOBr ( g ) If the second step is the rate determining step, the order of the reaction with respect to N O(g) is
Options
- A1
- B0
- C3
- D2
Correct answer
D. 2
Step-by-step solution
NO ( g )+ Br ₂( ~g ) NOBr ₂( ~g ) NOBr ₂( ~g )+ NO ( g ) 2 NOBr ( g ) aligned R & = K [ NOBr ₂ ][ NO ] & = K K _ c [ NO ] [ Br ₂ ][ NO ], where K _ c = [ NOBr ₂ ] [ NO ₂ ] [ Br ₂ ] & = K ^ [ NO ]^2 [ Br ₂ ] aligned
