Suppose the reaction between nitric oxide and bromine proceeds by the following mechanism: step elementary reaction rate constant (g) (g) (g) (g) (g) (g) Suppose also ≫. That is, the first step is much faster than the second. Write the balanced chemical equation for the overall chemical reaction:
Write the experimentally-observable rate law for the overall chemical reaction.

Note: your answer should not contain the concentrations of any intermediates.

Koverall [NO]^2 [Br2]

Balanced chemical reaction equation;

2NO + Br2 ⇄2NOBr

Explanation:

Consider the first step in the reaction;

NO(g) + Br2(g) ⇄ NOBr2(g) fast

The second step is the slower rate determining step

NOBr2(g) + NO(g) ⇄ 2NOBr(g)

Given that k1= [NOBr2]/[NO] [Br2]

k2= [NOBr2] [NO]

The concentration of the intermediate is now;

[NOBr2]= k1[NO][Br2]

It then follows that overall rate of reaction is

Rate= k1k2[NO]^2 [Br2]

Since k1k2=Koverall

Rate= Koverall [NO]^2 [Br2]

answer: atomic mass was originally used to arrange elements on the periodic table, but is no longer used to organize the modern version.

explanation:

originally atomic mass was used to arrange elements on the periodic table from left to right in a row. each column then shows similar properties of elements of a group.

in modern periodic table, the atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number. as atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom which is unique for every atom.
