Question

9. For the generic reaction below, the rate
quadruples when [A] is doubled. When [B] is
doubled, the rate doesn’t change. Which
mechanism is consistent with these experimental
observations?
2 A + B → 2 C
A. Step 1: A + B ⇌ D fast
Step 2: A + D → 2 C slow
B. Step 1: A + B → D slow
Step 2: A + D ⇌ 2 C fast
C. Step 1: 2 A → D slow
Step 2: B + D → E fast
Step 3: E → 2 C fast
D. Step 1: 2 A ⇌ D fast
Step 2: B + D → E slow
Step 3: E → 2 C fast

Expert Solution

Step 1

according to the question the rate is doubled when concentration of A is doubled and remain unchange when concentration of B is change that is the order of this reaction with respect to the A is 2 and with respect to zero
