Q. The rate law for the chemical reaction $2NO_{2}$CL$\rightarrow 2NO_{2} + CL_{2}$is rate =k[$NO_{2}$Cl].The rate determining step is
A) $2NO_{2}Cl \rightarrow 2NO_{2} + 2Cl\$
B) $NO_{2} + Cl_{2} \rightarrow NO_{2}Cl + Cl$
C) $NO_{2}Cl + Cl \rightarrow NO_{2} + Cl_{2}$
D) $NO_{2}Cl \rightarrow NO_{2} + Cl$
Explanation
(d)
Rate =$k\lbrack{NO}_{2}Cl\rbrack$
Hence ,rate determining step is
${NO}_{2}CL \rightarrow {NO}_{2} + CL$
