The decomposition of nitrous oxide :

2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)

is believed to occur by two-step mechanism

N₂O(g) → N₂(g) + O(g) (slow)

N₂O(g) + O(g) → N₂(g) + O₂(g) (fast)

the consistent rate equation based on the mechanism above is ____

• rate = k [N₂O]²

• rate = k [N₂O]

• rate = k [N₂O]² [N₂]

• rate = k

the reaction between gaseous iodine monochloride, ICl, and gaseous hydrogen :

H₂(g) + 2ICl (g) → I₂(g) + 2HCl (g)

has a rate equation : k [ICl] [H₂]

Which one ARE TRUE based on information above?
