A complex reaction takes place in 2 steps
(i) \(\mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{F}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{F}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\) (slow)
(ii) \(\mathrm{F}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_{(\mathrm{g})}(\) fast \()\)
Identify the reaction intermediate?

  1. A \(\mathrm{F}_{(\mathrm{g})}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{F}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{NO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_{(\mathrm{g})}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{F}_{(\mathrm{g})}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reaction intermediates are those substance which are formed in one step and get consumed in the successive step
\(\therefore\) In the given mechanism it is \(\mathrm{F}(\mathrm{g})\)
