Suppose that a reaction of stoichiometry A + 2B = Y + Z is believed to occur by the mechanism: A + B -> X (very slow) X + B -> Y + Z (very fast) Where X is an intermediate. Write the expression for the rate of formation of Y.

Step 1
This is the rate-determining step, so the rate of the reaction is determined by this step. The rate law for this step is Rate = k[A][B], where k is the rate constant, [A] is the concentration of A, and [B] is the concentration of B. Show more…
