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)

Why is oil unable to dissolve well in water? Water is polar and oil is nonpolar, which means they have no attraction for each ot
Marat540 [252]
Because water is polar and oil is nonpolar, their molecules are not attracted to each other. The molecules of a polar solvent like water are attracted to other polar molecules, such as those of sugar. This explains why sugar has such a high solubility in water. Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride, are also highly soluble in water. Because water molecules are polar, they interact with the sodium and chloride ions. In general, polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. This concept is often expressed as “Like dissolves like.” So many substances dissolve in water that it is sometimes called the universal solvent. Water is considered to be essential for life because it can carry just about anything the body needs to take in or needs to get rid of.
