Question
Consider the general reaction $$A B+C \longrightarrow A C+B$$ If this reaction occurs in one step, what would be the expected rate law for the reaction?
Step 1
The reaction is $$A B+C \longrightarrow A C+B$$ This is an exchange reaction where A and B are initially together and C is alone. After the reaction, A and C are together and B is alone. Show more…

Suppose the reaction, 2A + 2B → 2C + F followed the mechanism: A + B ⇌ C + D (fast) A + D → E (slow) E + B → C + F (very fast) What is the expected rate law? (Hint: Intermediate cannot be a part of rate law)
The complete mechanism for a reaction is considered to occur in two steps, one of which is slow and the other fast: A + B → C + D (slow) and A + C → E + F (fast). What is the rate law predicted by this mechanism?
Consider this two-step mechanism for a reaction: a. What is the overall reaction? b. Identify the intermediates in the mechanism. c. What is the predicted rate law?
