Rate-determining step
More difficult example:
Sometimes the mechanism involves
a fast step that reaches equilibrium, followed by a slow, rate-determining step.
Example:
2NO + 2H2 N2 + 2H2O
has an experimentally determined rate law of Rate = k[NO]2[H
2NO + 2H2 N2 + 2H2O
Rate = k[NO]2[H 2]
The proposed mechanism is: Step 1 2NO N2O2
(fast, equilibrium step)
Step 2 N2O2 + H2 N2O + H2O (slow)
Step 3 N2O + H2 N2 + H2O (fast)
Rate = k[NO]2[H 2]
Step 1 2NO N2O2 (fast, equilibrium step)
Step 2 N2O2 + H2 N2O + H2O (slow)
Step 3 N2O + H2 N2 + H2O (fast)
Overall 2NO + 2H2 N2 + 2H2O
Rate = k[NO]2[H 2]
Step 1 2NO N2O2
(fast, equilibrium step)
Step 2 N2O2 + H2 N2O + H2O
(slow)
Step 3 N2O + H2 N2 + H2O
(fast)
Overall 2NO + 2H2 N2 + 2H2O
Answer: Because the N2O2 is an
intermediate; the rate law never includes intermediates.
For the equilibrium step 2NO N2O2
We can write an equilibrium expression… Keq = [N2O2]/[NO]2
(products over reactants; see Ch 13) We rearrange this to give:
[N2O2] = Keq [NO]2
Now if we substitute that into the Step 2 rate law, rate = k [N2O2][H2], we get:
Rate = k Keq [NO]2 [H 2]
Combining the two constants gives us: Rate = k [NO]2 [H
The final result is that the Step 2 rate law gives us the observed rate law for the entire reaction …
… exactly as expected for reactions involving a fast step that reaches
equilibrium followed by a slow, rate-determining step!
