NOCl is produced by the following reaction: 2NO + Cl2 --> 2NOCL
A scientist proposed the following mechanism
NO + NO --> N2O2 (FAST)
N2O2 + Cl2 --> 2NOCl (slow)
Which rate law is consistent with this reaction mechanism?
Rate=k[NO]^2
Rate= k[NO]^2 [CL2]
Rate= k[N2O2][Cl2]
Rate= k[N2O2]
Rate=k[Cl2]
The answer is Rate= k[NO]^2 [CL2]. i read the explanation but i just cant make sense of it. Could anyone enlighten me please
