A suggested mechanism for the gas phase decomposition of nitrous oxide is: step

Question

A suggested mechanism for the gas phase decomposition of nitrous oxide is: step I: N_2 O rightarrow N_2 + O step 2: N_2 O + O rightarrow N_2 + O_2 (a) Identify the molecularity of each step in the mechanism. step 1 step 2 (b) Write the equation for the net reaction? Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. (c) Identify any intermediates and/or catalysts in this mechanism. Catalyst: Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: Intermediate: Enter formula. If none, leave box blank:

Explanation / Answer

step 1: N2O-----------> N2 + O

molecularity is 1

step 2 : N2O + O--------> N2 + O2

molecularity is 2

b.

step 1: N2O-----------> N2 + O

step 2 : N2O + O--------> N2 + O2

--------------------------------------------------

            2N2O --------------------> 2N2 + O2

c. intermediate is O

   catalyst is none
