Question

A two-step mechanism has been suggested for the reaction of nitric oxide and bromine.
$N O (g) + B r_{2} (g) K_{1} - \to N O B r_{2} (g)$
$N O B r_{2} (g) + N O (g) K_{2} - \to 2 N O B r (g)$
The observed rate law is, rate $= k [N O]^{2} [B r_{2}]$ . Hence, the rate-determining step is :

A

N O (g) + B r_{2} (g) \to N O B r_{2} (g)

Solution

The correct option is B $N O B r_{2} (g) + N O (g) \to 2 N O B r (g)$
$N O (g) + B r_{2} (g)_{1} N O B r_{2} (g)$ .....(i)
$N O B r_{2} (g) + N O (g) k_{2} - -- \to R D S 2 N O B r_{2} (g)$ .....(ii)
Rate = $k_{2}$ $[N O B r_{2}] [N O]$
Since, $N O B r_{2}$ is the reactive intermediate, so its constant ratio is dertermined from step (i).
$k_{1} o r k_{e q} = \frac{[N O B r_{2}]}{[N O] [B r_{2}]}$
or $[N O B r_{2}] = k_{1} [N O] [B r_{2}]$
Substitute the $[N O B r_{2}]$ in step (iii),
$∴$ Rate = $k_{1} k_{2} [N O]^{2} [B r_{2}] = K [N O]^{2} [B r_{2}]$
