Question:

The reaction 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) → 2NOCl(g) was performed and the following data obtained under conditions of constant [Cl2]:

(under conditions of constant [Cl2]) Time ION]/I

(a) Is the following mechanism consistent with the data?

NO(g) + Cl2 (g) → NOCl2 (g) (fast)

NOCl2 (g) + NO(g) → 2 NOCl (g) (slow)

(b) Does the linear plot guarantee that the overall rate law is second order?
