A transition metal catalyst converts carbon monoxide, oxygen, and hydrogen to formic acid. The carbon monoxide, oxygen, and hydrogen reactants are transported to the surface in the gas phase, and the formic acid product is transported away from the surface in the gas phase. Start by writing a balanced overall reaction for the conversion of CO, Ö2, and H2to HCOÓH. Propose a reaction mechanism showing the surface reaction steps and chemical transformations. Sketch each step in the mechanism showing the principal orbitals involved taken from the molecular orbital energy diagrams. Don't worry about the structure of the metal surface, and instead define binding sites as single or pairs of metal atoms with the appropriated-orbital as needed. Hint: in the course of this reaction one of the intermediate species sorts of does a flip on the surface after reacting with another surface species and bonds to the surface via a different atom
