When suggesting possible reaction mechanisms for a chemical reaction, the proposed mechanism must satisfy the following two requirements: 1. Adding the steps of the proposed mechanism must give the overall balanced chemical equation for the reaction. 2. The proposed mechanism must agree with the experimentally determined rate law. Nitryl fluoride gas, NOFg), is sometimes used as rocket propellant. Nitryl fluoride can be synthesized from gascous nitrogen dioxide and fluorine. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2NO(g) + F2) 2NOF) The experimentally determined rate law equation is: rate=k[NO][F2)] A suggested mechanism for this reaction is: NO2(g) + F2(g) NOF) + F(g) NO2(g) + F2(g) NOF(gl (slow) (fast) Does this proposed mechanism satisfy the two requirements for a plausible reaction mechanism? Explain using full sentences and show work where required (/5 C marks). If the two requirements are not satisfied, suggest a possible reason (/1 C marks)
