Chapter 14, Problem 14.103QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The elementary steps in the reaction has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Reaction: Substances which are mutually involved each other in a chemical process and changed into different substances.

Mechanism of a reaction: The representation of step by step process involved in the chemical process is said to be mechanism of a chemical reaction.

Rate determining step of a reaction: The speed or rate at which the overall the total reaction done and which is slowest step of the chemical reaction.

Exothermic reaction: Exothermic reaction is said to be a chemical reaction in which energy will released in the form of heat.  In general this reaction has to be represented as follows.

$\text{Reactants }\to \text{ Products + Energy}$

Endothermic reaction: Endothermic reaction is said to be a chemical reaction in which energy will consumed in the form of heat.  In general this reaction has to be represented as follows.

$\text{Reactants + Energy}\to \text{ Products }$
