Apply steady-state approximation
Not what you're looking for?
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?

Solution Summary
The expert applies steady-state approximation.
Solution Preview
1) 2NO ----> N2O2
<----
rate = -1/2 d[NO]/dt = d[N2O2]/dt
2) N2O2 + H2 -----> N2 + H2O2
rate = ...
