A proposed mechanism for the reaction of NO 2 and CO is Step 1: Slow, endothermic Step

Question:

A proposed mechanism for the reaction of NOand CO is

Step 1: Slow, endothermic2 NO(g)  NO(g) + NO3(g)

Step 2: Fast, exothermicNO3(g) + CO(g)  NO(g) + CO(g)

Overall Reaction: Exothermic

(a) Identify each of the following as a reactant, product, or intermediate: NO2(g), CO(g), NO3(g), CO2(g), NO(g).

(b) Draw a reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Indicate on this drawing the activation energy for each step and the overall enthalpy change.
