The following is a proposed mechanism for the gas phase decomposition of nitryl chloride. step 1 fast: NOCI NO2 + CI step 2 slow: NO2CI+ CI NO2 + Cl2 (1) What is the equation for the overall reaction? Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. (2) Which species acts as a catalyst? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: (3) Which species acts as a reaction intermediate? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: (4) Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanism. Use the form k[A]”", where '1' is understood (so don't write it if it's a '1') for m, n etc. Rate =
The thermal decomposition of nitryl chloride is proposed to occur by the following mechanism: step 1 slow: NO2Cl → NO2 + CI step 2 fast: CI + NO CI NO2 + Cl2 (1) What is the equation for the overall reaction? Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. (2) Which species acts as a catalyst? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: (3) Which species acts as a reaction intermediate? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: (4) Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanism. (Use the form k[A]""..., where 'l' is understood (so don't write it) for m, n etc.) Rate =
