Reaction kinetics — practice question

Sulfur dioxide is an atmospheric pollutant responsible for acid rain. One reaction in this sequence is the conversion of sulfur dioxide into sulfur trioxide by oxidation. This oxidation occurs in a two-stage reaction that involves oxygen and nitrogen monoxide, NO. $\text{NO} + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{NO}_2$ $\text{NO}_2 + \text{SO}_2 \rightarrow \text{SO}_3 + \text{NO}$ Which of the following statements are correct?

  • A1, 2 and 3 are correct
  • B1 and 2 only are correct
  • C2 and 3 only are correct
  • D1 only is correct
