<u>Answer:</u> The rate law expression for the given reaction is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$
