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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
