Question
What is the rate law for the following mechanism:
2 A+B2C (fast equilibrium; rate of forward reaction: k], rate of reverse reaction: k.1)
B+C -D (slow, rate: k2)
D - E
(fast, rate: k3)
Rate= k2 (k1/k.1) [A]²[B}²
OA.
O B. Rate= (k1 k1) [A][B]²
В.
Rate= k2 [B][C]
O D. Rate= k2 (k1/k1)[A]{{B]
O E. Rate= k2 [A]²B]²
Е.
