Correct Answer:
a. NO2 + CO ® NO + CO2
b. NO3 is an intermediate; it is generated in the first step and used up in the second step.
c. One of the NO2 molecules is a catalyst, since it is used up in the first step and regenerated in the second step.
d. Since the first step is slow (i.e., rate-determining), the rate law is
rate = k[NO2]2
e. Rate = k[NO2][CO].
