Is this a possible two step mechanism for this reaction : 2NO + 2H2-----> N2 + 2H20
(1), NO + NO + H2 -----> N2 + H20 + O (Radical) (2), H2 + O( Radical) ---------> H20 This should add up to give the overall equation above the page right ? By the way NO is second order and H is first order
Sorry you've not had any responses about this. Are you sure you've posted in the right place? Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there.

Not likely because your first step requires collision of 3 species at once.
Did the question say a two step mechanism was required?

I don't think you can get a 2 step mechanism here.
