Consider the following two-step reaction. no2(g) + so2(g) → no(g) + so3(g) 2 no(g) + o2(g) → 2 no2(g) identify which component is a catalyst and which is a reaction intermediate. explain your answer. the incorrect: your answer is incorrect. is a catalyst because it enables the reaction to move forward but is not consumed in the overall reaction. the incorrect: your answer is incorrect. is a reaction intermediate because it is produced in one step of the reaction and consumed in the next.
