The surface reaction
AB(g) +S <----> AB*S (Adsorption)
AB*S<----> B*S+A(g) (Surface reaction)
B*S <---> B(g) + S (Desorption)
(a) Derive the rate law assuming each of the three cases: (1) adsorption is rate-limiting, (2) surface reaction is rate limiting, and (3) desorption is rate-limiting. Express the overall reaction rate (- Tan) in terms of total number of sites on the surface, C. partial pressures of the gas species (ie., PA. PA and Pa), rate constants of adsorption, the surface reaction, and desorption (kaks, and ko), and the equilibrium constants of adsorption, the surface reaction, and desorption (ie., K. Ks and Ko).
Hint: Based on the reaction mechanism, only AB and B are adsorbed on the surface, i.e., there is no evidence that A alone can be adsorbed on the surface.

Ethylene oxide (C₂H4O) is a high-volume chemical intermediate that is used in the manufacture of textiles, detergents, polyurethane foam, antifreeze, solvents, medicinal, adhesives, and other products like glycol and polyethylene glycol. Ethylene oxide is produced by the partial oxidation of ethylene (C₂H4) using a solid catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor: C₂H4 + O2 →→ C₂H4O An undesired reaction occurs where a portion of the ethylene reacts completely to form CO2 and H₂O: C₂H4 + O2- → CO₂ + H₂O The product gas leaving a fixed-bed ethylene oxide reactor has the following water-free composition: 22.5% C₂H4O; 70.7% N₂; 2.5% O₂; and 4.3% CO₂.
