Question
![Order and rate law of a reaction
To understand how elementary steps make up a mechanism and how
the rate law for an elementary step can be determined.
The overall order of an elementary step directly corresponds to its molecularity. Both steps in this example are second order because they are each bimolecular.
Furthermore, the rate law can be determined directly from the number of each type of molecule in an elementary step. For example, the rate law for step 1 is
Very often, a reaction does not tell us the whole story. For instance,
the reaction
rate =
k[NO2]?
NO2(9) + CO(9)¬NO(g)+CO2(g)
The exponent "2" is used because the reaction involves two NO2 molecules. The rate law for step 2 is
does not involve a collision between an NO2 molecule and a
CO molecule. Based on experimental data at moderate temperatures,
this reaction is thought to occur in the following two steps:
rate = k[NO3]"[CO]' = k[NO3][CO]
because the reaction involves only one molecule of each reactant the exponents are omitted.
1. NO2 (g) + NO2(9)→NO3(9)+NO(g)
2. NO3 (9) + CO(9)→CO2(9)+NO2(9)
Analyzing a new reaction
Each individual step is called an elementary step. Together, these
elementary steps are called the reaction mechanism.
Consider the following elementary steps that make up the mechanism of a certain reaction:
Overall, the resulting reaction is
1. 2X→Y+Z
2. Y+ 2L→M+Z
NO2 (g) + CO(g)→NO(g)+CO2(g)
Notice that in the elementary steps NO3 appears both as a product
and then as a reactant; therefore it cancels out of the final chemical
equation. NO3 is called a reaction intermediate. Also notice that 2
molecules of NO2 appear in the reactants of the first step and 1
molecule of NO2 appears as product of the second step, the net
effect leaves only 1 molecule of NO2 as a reactant in the net
equation.

Molecularity is the proper term for "how the molecules collide" in a
reaction. For example, step 1 is bimolecular because it involves the
collision of two molecules. Step 2 is also bimolecular for the same
reason. Unimolecular reactions involve only one molecule in the
reactants. Though rare, collisions among three molecules can occur.
