That is, the first step is much slower than the second. Write the balanced chemical equation for the overall chemical reaction: Write the experimentally- observable rate law for the overall chemical reaction. Note: your answer should not contain the concentrations of any intermediates. Express the rate constant k for the overall chemical reaction in terms of k₁, K₂, and (if necessary) the rate constants k.₁ and k-2 for the reverse of the two elementary reactions in the mechanism.

Consider the following reaction mechanism for the addition of HCl to propene in the gas phase. The overall reaction is just HCI + CH3CH=CH2 → CH;CH2CH3, but the experimentally observed rate law is more complicated than that stoichiometry would suggest. 2 HCl 2 (HCI), k_1 k2 HCI + CH3CH = CH, 2 complex k_2 (HCI)2 + complex → CH3CHCICH3 (Here (HCl)2 is an HCl dimer and “complex" represents some intermediate species of unknown structure.) Assume that the third step is rate determining, and that the first two steps both remain in equilibrium throughout the reaction. d[CH;CHCICH3] Please write Derive an expression for the rate of formation of CH3CHCICH,' dt your final expression in the boxes. HINT: Be sure to use the equilibrium assumption, and not the steady state approximation. Your final rate law should NOT include the concentrations of any intermediates.
