Rate expression of overall reaction
= rate expression of RDS
Rate expression of overall reaction
= combination of the slow and fast step
(i.e. substitute the intermediate*)
Rate=k[NO2Cl]
(No prior reactions affect the reagents in the RDS)
Rate=k[N2O2][O2]
But N2O2 is an intermediate made from 2NO
→ ∴ Overall: Rate=k[NO]2[O2]
