Question

The following reaction exhibits the rate law: Rate = k[NO]2[Cl2].
2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) → 2 NOCI(9)
Explain why the following mechanism is not plausible for this reaction.
NO(g) + Cl2 NOCI(g) + Cl(9) fast equilibrium (k1 and k-1)
NO(g) + Cl(g) → NOCI(g)
slow (k2)​

Answer 1

NoCL+ c22+Na(oh) is equilibri
