[2007]
The reaction is of first order with respect to
Mechanism
Mechanism B:
Which of the above mechanism(s) can be consistent with the given information about the reaction?
(a)
(b) neither
(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Solution:
- (d) As the slowest step is the rate determining step thus the mechanism
will be more consistent with the given information. Also because it involve one molecule of and one molecule of , it can be expressed as :
Which shows that the reaction is of first order w.r.t. both
