The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of NO with H2 to form N2O and H2O:

NO(g) + NO(g)→N2O2(g)

N2O2(g) + H2(g)→N2O(g) + H2O(g)

(a) Show that the elementary reactions of the proposed mechanism add to provide a balanced equation for the reaction. (b) Write a rate law for each elementary reaction in the mechanism. (c) Identify any intermediates in the mechanism. (d) The observed rate law is rate = k[NO]2[H2]. If the proposed mechanism is correct, what can we conclude about the relative speeds of the first and second reactions?
