which of the following mechanisms yields the correct overall chemical equation and is consistent with the rate equation below?
rate = k[A][B]2
Question 4 options:
2 B ? I (slow)
A + I ? C (fast)
A + B ? I (slow)
I + B ? C (fast)
I + B ? C + A (slow)
A + 2 B ? I (fast)
I + B ? C + B (slow)
I + A ? C (slow)
1)2 B ? I (slow)
A + I ? C (fast)
2)A + B ? I (slow)
I + B ? C (fast)
3)2 A + B I (fast)
I + B ? C + A (slow)
4)A + 2 B ? I (fast)
I + B ? C + B (slow)
5)2 B I (fast)
