Question:

Case: Read the passage and answer the following questions

A property of a reaction called molecularity helps in understanding its mechanism. The number of reacting species (atoms, ions, or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction, which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction is called molecularity of a reaction.

Which of the following is an example of trimolecular reaction?

Options:

NH4NO2 → N2+2H2O

2HI → H2+I2

2NO+O2 → 2NO2

None of the above

Correct Answer:

2NO+O2 → 2NO2

Explanation:

Trimolecular or termolecular reactions involve simultaneous collision between three reacting species.
