The possible mechanism for the reaction $2NO + Br_2 \to 2NOBr$ is:
$NO + Br_2 \rightleftharpoons NOBr_2$ (Fast)
$NOBr_2 + NO \to 2NOBr$ (Slow)
The rate law expression is:

  • A
    $r = K [NO][Br_2]$
  • B
    $r = K [NO][NOBr_2]^2$
  • C
    $r = K [NO]^2 [Br_2]$
  • D
    $r = K [NOBr_2][NO]^2 [Br_2]$

The mechanism of the reaction $2NO_{(g)} + Br_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2NOBr_{(g)}$ is given by:
$1) NO_{(g)} + Br_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2(g)}$ (fast)
$2) NOBr_{2(g)} + NO_{(g)} \rightarrow 2NOBr_{(g)}$ (slow)
If the second step is the rate-determining step,what is the order of the reaction with respect to $NO_{(g)}$?

$A$ substance undergoes first-order decomposition. The decomposition follows two parallel first-order reactions as:
$A \xrightarrow{k_1} B$ $k_1 = 1.26 \times 10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$
$A \xrightarrow{k_2} C$ $k_2 = 3.8 \times 10^{-5} \ s^{-1}$
The percentage distribution of $B$ and $C$ are:
