The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of NO with Br2 to form NOBr NO(g)+Br2(g)⇌NOBr2(g)NOBr2(g)+NO(g)→2NOBr(g) If the second step is the rate determining step, the order of the reaction with respect to NO(g) is

Solution
The correct option is C 2 Rate=k[NOBr2]NO−−−−−(I) But NOBr2 is in equilibrium Keq=[NOBr2][NO][Br2] From (I)&(II) Rate =K.Keq[NO][Br2][NO] Rate =K1[NO]2[Br2](wherek1=K.Keq)
