The isomerization of cyclopropane, C3H6, is believed to occur by the mechanism shown in the equations above. Here C3H6* is an excited cyclopropane molecule. At low pressure, Step 1 is much slower than Step 2. Derive the rate law for this mechanism at low pressure?
A proposed mechanism for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide consists of three elementary steps: (1) H₂O2(g) →>> 2OH(g) (2) H₂O2(g) + OH(g) → H₂O(g) + HO₂(g) (3) HO₂(g) + OH(g) → H₂O(g) + O₂(g) If the rate law for the reaction is first order in H₂O2, which step in the mechanism is the rate-determining step? O Step 1 O None of the steps O Step 3 O Impossible to determine Steps 1 and 2 O All of the steps O Step 2 Hint: The slowest step in a mechanism determines the rate law.

4. The rate law for the reaction H₂ (g) + I₂ (g) → 2 HI (g) was determined to be rate = k [H₂] [1₂], which led to a simple single-step bimolecular mechanism where an H₂ molecule simply collided with an I₂ molecule. In the 1960s, though, different teams found spectroscopic evidence for this mechanism: (1) (2) (3) I₂ (g) →21 (g) H₂(g) + I (g) → H₂I (g) H₂I (g) + I (g) → 2 HI (g) (fast) (fast) (slow) Show that this mechanism is consistent with the rate law: rate = k [H₂] [1₂]. To do this, assign individual rate constants for ALL forward and reverse reactions in the mechanism (I'm guessing k₁, k-1, k2, k-2 and k3). Then show that the overall rate law from combining individual rate laws for the mechanism steps yields rate = (some combination of k's) [H₂] [1₂], and thus k= (some combination of k's). Remember that there should be no reaction intermediates in the rate law, only reactants. \
