Consider this reaction, 2H(2)(g)+2NO(g...

Consider this reaction,
`2H_(2)(g)+2NO(g)to N_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(g)`
The rate law for this for reaction is rate `=k[H_(2)][NO]^(2)` .
Under what conditions could these Steps represent the mechanism?
Step1: `2NOtoN_(2)O_(2)`
Step2: `N_(2)O_(2)+H_(2)to N_(2)O+H_(2)O`
Step3:`N_(2)O+H_(2)to N_(2)+H_(2)O`

A

These Steps cannot be the mechanism under any circumstances.

B

These steps could be the mechanism if Step 1 is the slow step.

C

These step could be the mechanism if Setp2 is the slow step.

D

These Steps could be the mechanism if Step 3 is the slow step.
