Answer:-

Option 2

Explanation:-

In a multi step reaction, the overall reaction is as fast as the slowest step only.

So the rate of a multistep reaction is the same as the rate of its slowest step.

The gas phase reaction was found to be second order wrt NO2.

So the slowest step must have 2 NO2 since the dependence is second order on NO2.

It was also found to be zero order wrt CO.

So the slowest step must not contain any CO since it’s presence has no effect on the reaction (zero order).

Among all options, only number 2 meets the two criterion

Thus the steps are

NO2 + NO2 – NO3 + NO (Slow)

NO3 + CO – NO2 + CO2 (Fast)

Given the two half-cell reactions for copper and iron below
liraira [26]

Answer:

No, i will not use a water pipe consisting of the two metals

Explanation:

Looking at the reduction potential of the both metals, it is clear that an electrochemical cell is set up with iron as the anode and copper as the cathode.

This will make the iron to quickly corrode and eventually destroy the water pipe. It is better to have a set up in which another metal that is higher than iron in the electrochemical series is combined with it.
