### Reaction Mechanism Analysis#### Problem 10.2:Suppose that a reaction \( A + 2B = 2Y + 2Z \) is believed to occur according to the mechanism:\[ A \xrightarrow{k_1} 2X \quad (\text{very rapid equilibrium}) \]\[ X + B \xrightarrow{k_2} Y + Z \quad (\text{slow}) \]**Task: Obtain an expression for the rate of formation of the product Y.**### Detailed Diagram Description- The diagram presents a two-step reaction mechanism.- The first step shows a reactant \( A \) converting into \( 2X \) with a rate constant \( k_1 \). This step is characterized by very rapid equilibrium.- The second step involves the intermediate \( X \) reacting with \( B \) to form products \( Y \) and \( Z \) with a rate constant \( k_2 \). This step is considered slow, indicating it is the rate-determining step of the overall reaction.### Rate of Formation of Product YTo find the expression for the rate of formation of \( Y \), we need to consider the slow step in the mechanism:\[ X + B \rightarrow Y + Z \]Since this is the rate-determining step, the rate of formation of \( Y \) depends on the concentration of \( X \) and \( B \):\[ \text{Rate}_{Y} = k_2 [X][B] \]However, since \( [X] \) is produced in the first step and is in rapid equilibrium with \( A \):\[ A \xrightarrow{k_1} 2X \]We can assume the concentration of \( X \) reaches a steady state quickly. Therefore, we can express \( [X] \) in terms of \( [A] \), and substitute this into the rate equation for \( Y \).Finalizing the equations and solving to derive the exact expression for \( [Y] \) requires additional steps in kinetics and equilibrium assumptions, often involving \( k_1 \) being much larger compared to \( k_2 \). The detailed kinetic derivation is left as an exercise.

(a) In the reaction mechanisms given, there are some chemical species which will get produced in one step and get consumed in the other step and that are not in reactants nor in products of the total reaction. Such species are known as intermediates of a reaction as the name suggests. Therefore, in mechanism 1, the intermediates are (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-, (CH3)2CH+. and in mechanism 2: (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-. These ions are neither reactants nor products of the given total equation.
