The mechanism for the reaction described by

NO2(g) + CO(g) ---> CO2(g) + NO (g)

is suggested to be

(1) 2NO2(g) --->(k1) NO3(g) + NO (g)

(2) NO3(g) +CO(g) --->(k2) NO2(g) +CO2(g)

Assuming that [NO3] is governed by steady-state conditions,derive the rate law for the production of CO2(g) and enter it inthe space below.

Rate of CO2(g) production = ???
