Nitric oxide reacts with hydrogen according to the following equation: 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g)  N2(g) + 2Kinetics Chemistry Question

Question

Nitric oxide reacts with hydrogen according to the following equation:
2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g)  N2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
A possible mechanism for this reaction is
2 NO(g)  N2O2(g) fast, unfavorable
N2O2(g) + H2(g)  N2O(g) + H2O(g) slow
N2O(g) + H2(g)  N2(g) + H2O(g) fast
What rate law is implied by this mechanism?

A.

Rate = k[NO][H2]

B.

Rate = k[NO]^2[H2]

✓ Correct
C.

Rate = k[NO][H2]^2

D.

Rate = k[NO]^2[H2]^2
