Question
The reaction and rate law for the gas-phase decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide are
->
2N2O5(g) 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
Which of the following can be considered valid mechanisms for the reaction?
rate = k[N205]
I
One-step collision
II 2 N2O5(g) → 2 NO3(g) + 2 NO2(g)
[slow]
2 NO3(g)
→
2 NO2(g) +2 O(g)
[fast]
2 O(g) → O2(g)
[fast]
III N2O5(g)
NO3(g) + NO2(g)
[fast]
NO2(g) + N2O5(g) → 3 NO2(g) + O(g)
[slow]
NO3(g) + O(g) → NO2(g) O2(g)
[fast]
IV 2 N2O5(g) 2 NO2(g) + N2O3(g) +3 O(g)
[fast]
N2O3(g) + O(g) → 2 NO2(g)
[slow]
[fast]
2 O(g) → O2(g)
->
V 2 N2O5(g) → N4010(g)
N4O10(g) → 4 NO2(g) + O2(g)
[slow]
[fast]
