Di-nitrogen oxide decomposes when heated to form nitrogen and oxygen. This reaction is described by the following equation:
2 N2O ---> 2 N2 + O2
What is the experimental determined rate law which is consistent with the following mechanism that is proposed for this reaction:
step 1: N2O ----> N2 + O slow
step 2: O + O ----> O2 fast
Which of the following are intermediates in this mechanism? (you may select more than one statement).
N2
O2
N2O
O
