Question

The rate expression for the reaction:
NH4CNO ⇋ NH2CONH2 can be derived from he mechanism:
i.  NH4CNO NH2NCO     (Fast)
ii. NH4NCO NH3 + HNCO    (Fast)
iii. NH3 + HNCO NH2CONH2   (Slow)
Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct about the rate expression ?

Options

A.[NH4NCO]
B.[NH4NCO]
C.= k[NH4NCO]
D.[NH4NCO]

Solution

[NH2CONH2] = k4[NH3][HNCO] from (iii)
Applying steady state approximation to HNCO or NH3
= O = k3 [NH4NCO] - k4[NH3][HNCO]

= k4 × [NH3][HNCO] = k4 × [NH4NCO]
Also, [NH4NCO] =  × [NH4CNO]
= k3 × × [NH4CNO]
= k[NH4CNO]
