The rate law depicts the effect of concentration on reaction rate. Second mechanism 2NO(g) ⇄ N₂O₂(g) [fast], N₂O₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g) [slow] is most reasonable. Thus, option b is correct.
<h3>What is rate law?</h3>
Rate law and equation give the rate at which the reaction takes place under the influence of the concentration of the reactants. The balanced chemical reaction is given as,
2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)
The rate of the equation is given as,
rate = k [NO]² [O₂]
In a multi-step chemical reaction, the slowest step is the rate-determining step. The second mechanism is given as,
2NO (g) → N₂O₂ (g) [fast]
N₂O₂(g) +O₂(g) → 2NO₂ (g) [slow]
Rate is given as,
rate = k [N₂O₂] [O₂]
Therefore, option b. the second mechanism is the most reasonable.
