2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2(8) 24. Consider the following mechanism for the
reaction represented above.
Step 1: 2 NO NO, (fast reversible)
Step 2: N, O2 + O2 → 2 NO2 (slow)
Which of the following statements is true?

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
