Question

Consider the following three-step mechanism:

What is the molecularity of each step? Enter your answers as numbers (unimolecular = 1) separated by commas.List the intermediates in alphabetical order and separated by commas.What is the overall reaction? Place reactants and products in alphabetical order. Use a hyphen and a greater than (->) for yields. For example A + 2B -> 3C.What is the rate law of the reaction? Do not superscript exponents. For example, k[A][C]3 implies that the reaction is first order in A and third order in C.

rate =

i. 2A B + C fast ii. B + C 2D slow iii. 2D + E F fast

Explanation / Answer

Molecularity

i) 2

ii) 2

iii) 3

Intermediates
