Apply steady-state approximation
Consider the following mechanism for the reaction of nitric oxide with hydrogen:
1) 2NO ----> N2O2
<----
2) N2O2 + H2 -----> N2 + H2O2
3) H2O2 + H2 ----> 2 H2O
a) apply the steady state approximation to one or more of the intermediates and thence derive the rate law for the overall reaction.
B) under what conditions does the rate law reduce to third order?

1) 2NO ----> N2O2
<----
rate = -1/2 d[NO]/dt = d[N2O2]/dt
2) N2O2 + H2 -----> N2 + H2O2
rate = ...

Enzymes for Michaelis-Menten Equation
Would you help me with the following questions?
Give the Michaelis-Menten equation and define each term in it. Does this equation apply to all enzymes? If not, to which kind does it not apply?
In deriving the Michaelis-Menten equation, an assumption called the steady state assumption is made. What does this assumption mean?
