Ethylene (ethene) is a precursor to many important products including polyethylene. It is produced along with other by- products from ethane in the temperature range 700 K - 900 K, in a reaction that includes the steps below. Note that the order of the steps is jumbled! Reaction 1: CH3 + CH3CH3 CH4 + CH3CH2 Reaction 2: CH3CH2'+ M → CH2CH2 + H'+ M Reaction 3: CH2CH2 + H'+ M → CH3CH2'+ M Reaction 4: H* + CH3CH3 H2 + CH3CH2 Reaction 5: H2 + CH3CH2' H' + CH3CH3 Reaction 6: H' + CH3CH2' CH3CH3 Reaction 7: CH3CH3 + M → 2CH3' + M

What is this reaction's mechanism?
Please answer everything asap, I really need help.
The acid-catalysed conversion of γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHBA) into its lactone, γ-butyrolactone (GBL) is a reversible reaction. The GHBA to GBL forward reaction is first-order with respect to the GHBA concentration; the GBL to GHBA reverse reaction is first-order with respect to the GBL concentration. An experimental study of the kinetics of this reaction was undertaken in 0.2 mol L-1hydrochloric acid (HCl) at 298 K. The initial concentration of GHBA was 18.23 × 10-3mol L-1 . The concentration of GBL in solution was followed as a function of time (t), as indicated in Table B.3: Time/min 0 21 36 50 65 80 100 ∞ GBL Concentration / 10-3 L-1 0 2.41 3.73 4.96 6.10 7.08 8.11 13.28 Use the data in Table B.3 to determine the equilibrium constant and the first-order rate constants for both forward and reverse reactions.
In an SN2 reaction between 2-chlorobutane and iodide ion, what happens to the rate of the reaction if: (a) the concentration of 2-chlorobutane is doubled? (b) the concentration of iodide is doubled?
A mechanism that has been proposed for the conversion of 2-methylpropene to tert-butyl alcohol in acidic aqueous solution is: step 1 slow: (CH3)2C=CH, + H*. →(CH3)3C* step 2 fast.

The reaction Cl2(g) + CHCl3(g) --> CCl4(g) + HCl(g) proceeds through the following mechanism: Cl2(g) --> 2 Cl(g)Cl(g) + CHCl3(g) --> HCl(g) + CCl3(g)Cl(g) + CCl3(g) --> CCl4(g) (a) The second step of this mechanism is rate-determining (slow). What is the rate law for this reaction? Rate = k [Cl2] [CHCl3]Rate = k [Cl2]2 [CHCl3] Rate = k [Cl2] [CHCl3]2Rate = k [Cl2]1/2 [CHCl3] Rate = k [Cl2] [CHCl3]1/2 Rate = k [Cl2]2 Rate = k [Cl2]2 [CHCl3]1/2 (b) What would the rate law be if the first step of this mechanism were rate-determining?
