Question
The reaction; 2NO(g) + 2H2(g) → 2H2O(g) + N2(g) obeys the rate equation Rate = k[NO]2[H2]. This mechanism has been proposed:
1. 2NO(g) → N2O2(g)
2. N2O2(g) + H2(g) → 2HON(g)
3. HON(g) + H2(g) → H2O(g) + HN(g)
4. HN(g) + HON(g) → N2(g) + H2O(g)
Which step of the mechanism is the rate-determining step?
A.
step 1
B.✓ Correct
step 2
C.
step 3
D.
step 4
