2NO + 2H2 ⟶N2 + 2H2O What would the rate law be if the mechanism for this reaction were: 2NO + H2 ⟶N2 + H2O2 (slow) H2O2 + H2 ⟶2H2O (fast)

rate = [NO]²[H₂]

Explanation:

2NO + H2 ⟶N2 + H2O2 (slow)

H2O2 + H2 ⟶2H2O (fast)

From the question, we are given two equations.

In chemical kinetics; that is the study of rate reactions and changes in concentration. The rate law is obtained from the slowest reaction.

This means that our focus would be on the slow reaction. Generally the rate law is obtained from the concentrations of reactants in a reaction.

This means our rate law is;

rate = [NO]²[H₂]

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
