25 A reversible gas phase reaction over a catalyst is given by: M + P+ Q The catalytic surface has only one type of site. Reactant M adsorb on a site and interacts with another site to form products, P and Q. P and Q then desorb from the surface. (a) Propose a series of reaction mechanism based on the information given above. b) Based on the series of reaction mechanism proposed in Q5(a), develop a rate law by assuming the surface reaction is the rate determining step.
