Step 1: 2 NO = (NO), (fast) Step 2: (NO)2 + O2 = 2 NO2 (slow) The elementary steps in a proposed mechanism for the reaction 2 NO(g) +O2(g) 2 NO2(g) are represented by the equations above. Which of the following is the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with the proposed mechanism?
A) rate = k[NO]
B) rate = k[NO][02]
C) rate = k[NO][02]
D)rate = k[(NO)2][02]
