E17E.1(a) The reaction mechanism for the decomposition of A, is thought to be A, A+A A+B - where the dissociation of A, is first order in A, and the recombination of A is second order in A; the reaction of A with B is first order in both A and B. Deduce the rate law for the rate of formation of P in two ways: (i) by assuming a pre-equilibrium between A, and A, and (ii) by assuming that the steady- state approximation can be applied to A.
