I know this a repost, but I didn't get any response and I need some help
Examine the reaction mechanism found below:
A + B2 → AB2 (slow)
AB2 + C → AB2C (fast)
AB2C + C → B2C2 + A (fast)
B2C2 → D + E (fast)
a) Write all the reaction intermediates
b) Write all the species that can be considered a catalyst.
c) provide the overall equation for this process.
d) provide the rate law based on this mechanism.
(this is thermochemistry)
I tried out a and b (I don't know if they're right, please tell me if they are) and I'm also confused for c and d.
My answers:
a) reaction intermediates : AB2, AB2C, and B2C2
b) catalyst : A
