question 25

Multiple Choice

Consider the following proposed mechanism.If this mechanism for the overall reaction were correct,and if k₁ were much less than k₂,then the observed rate law would be 2A C + I
I + B C + D

• A) rate = k₁[A]
• B) rate = k₂[I][B]
• C) rate = k₁[A]²
• D) rate = k₁[A]² − k₂[C][D]
• E) rate = k₁k₂[A]²[I][B]
