Consider the unimolecular reaction, CH3NC(g) = CH3NC(g), carried out in the presence of a helium buffer gas. The collision of a CH3NC molecule with either another CH3NC molecule or a helium atom can energize the molecule thereby leading to reaction. If the energizing reactions involving a CH3NC molecule and a He atom occur with different rates, the reaction mechanism would be given by CH3NC(g) + CH3NC(g) CH3NC*(g) + CH3NC(g) CH³NC(g) + He(g) — * — CH³NC*(g) + He(g) k3 CH3NC* (g) CH3CN(g) Apply the steady-state approximation to the intermediate species, CH3NC*, to show that k3(k₁[CH3NC]²+ k₂ [CH3NC] [He]) k₁[CH3NC] + k½ [He] + k3 rate = k₂ d[CH3CN] dt

(a) In the reaction mechanisms given, there are some chemical species which will get produced in one step and get consumed in the other step and that are not in reactants nor in products of the total reaction. Such species are known as intermediates of a reaction as the name suggests. Therefore, in mechanism 1, the intermediates are (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-, (CH3)2CH+. and in mechanism 2: (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-. These ions are neither reactants nor products of the given total equation.
