Propose a reaction pathway consisting of only a unimolecular or bimolecular steps for the 2A+B-->C+D that is consistent with the rate law rate=k(A)(B). Make sure you label which step is the rate determining step and prove that your proposed mechanism gives both the overall reaction and overall rate law. Explain the assumptions you must make in order for your mechanism to be consistent with the actual rate law.
