For this important smog reaction the experimental rate law isr=kexp [NO]^2[O2]. a.) Show that the followingmechanism is consistent with the rate law and identify keepproposed mechanism. NO+NO<--> N2O2 fast k1/k-1 N2O2+O--> 2NO2 slow k2
b.) What is the function of N2O2 and how do youknow?
c.)What is the difference between a catalyst andan intermediate ?
d.) Activation energies are: 82(r1), 205(r-1, and82(r2) kJ/mol. If the Arrhenius pre-exponential factors allapproximately the same what happens to the overall rate as thetemperature is increased?
What is d saying?
