Question
Suppose the formation of nitrosyl chloride proceeds by the following mechanism:
elementary reaction
NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) → NOC1₂ (g)
-
NOC1₂ (g) + NO(g) → 2NOC1 (g)
step
1
2
k₁
k₂
Suppose also k₁ <<k₂. That is, the first step is much slower than the second.
Write the balanced chemical
equation for the overall
chemical reaction.
Write the experimentally-
observable rate law for the
overall chemical reaction.
Note: your answer should not
contain the concentrations of
any intermediates.
0
