Answer:
please give the answer choice.
Answer:
a. 2nd order reaction.
b. The first step is the slow step.
Explanation:
r = k[NO][Cl₂]
a. The reaction is first-order in [NO] and first-order in [Cl₂], so it is second-order overall.
b. The first step is the slow step, because it predicts the correct rate law.
c. is wrong. Doubling [NO] would double the rate, because the reaction is first-order in [NO].
d. is wrong. Cutting [Cl₂] in half would halve the rate, because the reaction is first-order in [Cl₂].
e. is wrong. The molecularity is two, because two particles are colliding.
f. is wrong. Both steps are bimolecular.
With a radius of 3,760 miles (6,052 kilometers), Venus is roughly the same size as Earth — just slightly smaller.
