Question
The hypothetical reaction 2A + B → C + D
is catalyzed by E as indicated in the possible mechanism below.
(Step 1) A + E ⇌ AE (fast)
(Step 2) AE + A → A2 + E (slow)
(Step 3) A2 + B → C + D (fast)
Which rate law best agrees with this mechanism?
A.
Rate = k[A][B]
B.
Rate = k[A][E]
C.✓ Correct
Rate = k[A]2[E]
D.
Rate = k[A]2[B]
