Three part rate law question:) Will always thumbs up if the answer is right. Thanks again!

Part a)

Consider the overall reaction: AB(g) + CB(g) ⟶ A(g) + CB2(g)

A proposed mechanism for this reaction is

2 AB(g) ⇌  AB2(g) + A(g) (fast)

AB2(g) + CB(g) ⟶ AB(g) + CB2(g) (slow)

Based on this mechanism, determine the rate law for the overall reaction.

Part b)

Consider the following three-step mechanism for a reaction:

Br2 (g) ⇌ 2 Br (g) Fast

Br (g) + CHBr3 (g) → HBr (g) + CBr3 (g) Slow

Br (g) + CBr3 (g) → CBr4 (g) Fast

Based on this mechanism, determine the rate law for the overall reaction.

Part c)

Phosgene (Cl2CO), a poison gas used in World War I, is formed by the reaction of Cl2 and CO. The proposed mechanism for the reaction is
Cl2 ⇌ 2 Cl (fast,equilibrium)
Cl + CO ⇌ ClCO (fast,equilibrium)
ClCO + Cl2 → Cl2CO + Cl (slow)

Based on this mechanism, determine the rate law for the overall reaction.

Express your answers in terms of k and the necessary concentrations (ex: k[X][Y]^2). Use brackets around the concentrations and the caret symbol prior to the exponent. Do not include any multiplication signs.

Answer #1

Slowest step in a reaction is a rate determining step. Thus, Rate will be described by that step.

Rate law: It states that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants with each concentration term raise to some power equals to their stoichiometry co-efficients.

A. second stepis the slowest step

Thus, rate lasw is:

Rate = k [AB2] [CB]

Where k ; rate constant

B. middle step is a slowest step.

THus, rate law is:

Rate = k [Br] [CHBr3]

C. Last step is the slowest step

Thus, Rate law is:

Rate = k [ClCO] [Cl2]

A reaction mechanism is defined as the sequence of reaction steps that define the pathway from reactants to products. Each step in a mechanism is an elementary reaction, which describes a single molecular event of usually one or two molecules interacting. The rate law for an overall reaction is the rate law for the slowest step in the mechanism, which is directly related to the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants. The exception to this rule occurs when the slowest step...
