4. N₂Os(g) decomposes according to the following reaction: 2N₂O5(g) → 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g) The experimentally observed rate law is: Rate = = k[N₂05] The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction. Show that the mechanism is consistent with the observed rate law. k₁ N₂O5 + NO K-1 NO₂ NO + N₂O5 3 K₂ → k3 NO₂ + NO NO₂ 3 + NO + O 3NO₂ 2 -A[N₂05] At
