CO oxidation: 2CO+02 2CO was discussed in class as one of the reactions occurring in a catalytic converter. Oxygen dissociates upon adsorption, and CO non-dissociatively adsorbs before reacting with an adsorbed oxygen atom to generate CO2 which immediately desorbs. Assuming CO adsorption is rate determining, derive a rate equation in terms of measurable variables (k's and P's). Parameterize the rate equation in terms of the approach to equilibrium, B.
