Question

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with carbon monoxide to produce nitrogen monoxide and carbon dioxide.
NO2(g) + CO(g) NO(g) + CO2(g)
A proposed mechanism for this reaction is
2 NO2(g) NO3(g) + NO(g) (fast, equilibrium)
NO3(g) + CO(g) NO2(g) + CO2(g) (slow)
What is a rate law that is consistent with the proposed mechanism?
A.rate = k[NO2]2[CO] [NO]-1
B.rate = k[NO2]2[CO]
C.rate = k[NO2][CO]
D.rate = k[NO3][CO]
E.rate = k[NO2]2
