Consider the following reaction mechanism: kk2 A+ B = CP k_1 a. Write a complete set of differential equations describing the formation of A, B, C, and P vs. time. (15 points) b. Using the steady-state approximation on C, derive an expression for the initial rate of product formation, all your expression should contain only rate constants and initial concentrations (e.g. [A], , and/or [C]). (5 points) c. What is the order of the answer from part (b) with respect to A, B, C, and overall? (5 points) dt
