Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Steps involved for the given reaction will be as follows.
Step 1:
(fast)
Rate expression for step 1 is as follows.
Rate = k ![[NO]^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D)
Step 2: 
This step 2 is a slow step. Hence, it is a rate determining step.
Step 3.
(fast)
Here,
is intermediate in nature.
All the steps are bimolecular and it is a second order reaction. Also, there is no catalyst present in this reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement step 1 is the rate determining step, concerning this mechanism is not directly supported by the information provided.
Answer : The labs were unable to reproduce the pharmaceutical company’s data.
Explanation : Any scientific claim must have reproducible experimental data. In this case, when the pharmaceutical company has the claim of reducing the cancer growth cells by 35% then by using the same manufacturing procedure for the drug and lab should be able to get this result. But they failed to match up with the results which clearly indicates that the labs were not able to produce the same results and hence they concluded that the pharmaceutical company's claims were invalid.
The answers will be 21.5 L N2
I disagree, because a physical change changes the form, and a chemical change is a process where one or more substances are altered into new substances.
