The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of NO with Br2 to form NOBr
NO(g) Br2 (g) ⇌ NOBr2 (g)
NOBr2 (g) NO(g)→ 2NOBr(g)
If the second step is the rate determining step, the order of the reaction with respect to NO(g) is

  • 1

  • 0

  • 3

  • 2

Solution

D.

2

NO(g) Br2 (g) ⇌ NOBr2 (g)
NOBr2 (g) NO(g)→ 2NOBr(g)
R = K[NOBr2][NO]
= K.Kc[NO][Br2][NO], = fraction numerator left square bracket NOBr subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator left square bracket NO right square bracket left square bracket Br subscript 2 right square bracket end fraction
=K' [NO]2 [Br2 ]
