The experimental rate law for the decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O) to N2 and O2 is Rate = k[N2O]2. Two mechanisms are proposed:
I.
N2O → N2 + O
 
N2O + O → N2 + O2
II.
2N2O N4O2
 
N4O2→ 2N2 + O2
Which of the following could be a correct mechanism?


Mechanism I, with the first step as the rate-determining step.
Mechanism I, with the second step as the rate-determining step as long as the first step is a fast equilibrium step.
Mechanism II, with the second step as the rate-determining step if the first step is a fast equilibrium step.
None of the listed choices could be correct.
At least two of the listed choices could be correct.
