The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide 2NO2--2NO+O2 occurs in a two-step sequence at elevated tempatures. the first step lis NO2-- NO+O. predict a possible second step that, when combined with the first step, gives the complete reaction

Question

The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide 2NO2-->2NO+O2 occurs in a two-step sequence at elevated tempatures. the first step lis NO2--> NO+O. predict a possible second step that, when combined with the first step, gives the complete reaction

bobpursley · Answer

elemental Oxygen, O is highly reactive. O+O>O2 combine that with the first step
