Multiple Choice
The experimental rate law for the decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O) to N2 and O2 is Rate = k[N2O]2. Two mechanisms are proposed:
I. N2O → N2 + O
N2O + O → N2 + O2
II. 2N2O N4O2
N4O2 → 2N2 + O2
Which of the following could be a correct mechanism?
A) Mechanism I with the second step as the rate-determining step.
B) Mechanism II with the second step as the rate-determining step.
C) Mechanism I with the first step as the rate-determining step.
D) Two of these could be correct.
E) None of these could be correct.
