The reaction between nitric oxide and oxygen is described by the following chemical equation: 2NO+ 2O2 â 2NO2
2NO+ 2O2 â 2NO2 + O

Suppose a two-step mechanism is proposed for this reaction, beginning with this elementary reaction. Suppose also that the second step of the mechanism should be bimolecular. Suggest a reasonable second step. That is, write the balanced chemical equation of a bimolecular elementary reaction that would complete the proposed mechanism.

See explanation

Explanation:

A non elementary reaction is a reaction that does not take place in a single reactive encounter. Non elementary reactions take place in steps. These steps are referred to as the reaction mechanism.

The reaction between nitric oxide and oxygen is a non elementary reaction. It takes place in two steps as i will now show below;

Step 1

NO(g) + O2(g) > NO2(g) + O(g)

Step 2

NO(g) + O(g) > NO2(g)

Overall reaction equation

2NO(g) + O2(g) > 2NO2(g)

the energy to form plasma comes from heat or electricity in the atmosphere!

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
