**Reaction Mechanism Explanation:**Consider the following reaction mechanism. If this mechanism is correct, and \( k_1 \) is much smaller than \( k_2 \), then the observed rate law would be:1. **Reaction Step 1:** \[ 2A \xrightarrow{k_1} C + I \]2. **Reaction Step 2:** \[ I + B \xrightarrow{k_2} C + D \]**Choices for the Observed Rate Law:**- \( R = k_1 [A]^2 \)- \( R = k_1 k_2 [A]^2 [I] [B] \)- \( R = k_1 [A]^2 - k_2 [C] [D] \)- \( R = k_1 [A] \)- \( R = k_2 [I] [B] \)**Explanation:**The mechanism consists of two steps. In the first step, two molecules of A react to give species C and an intermediate I, with the rate constant \( k_1 \). In the second step, the intermediate I reacts with B to produce species C and D, with the rate constant \( k_2 \).Since \( k_1 \) is much smaller than \( k_2 \), the first step is likely the rate-determining step. The observed rate law will depend on the concentration of reactants involved in this slowest step.

Step : 1 The correct option for the following mechanism is follows as :

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.
