The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of with to form : If the second step is the rate determining step, the order of the reaction with respect to is:
- A1
- B0
- C3
- D2
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Rate depends on the slow step: .From the first fast equilibrium step:
Substitute this into the rate equation:
The order with respect to is .
Substitute this into the rate equation:
The order with respect to is .
