Question
Each step represents an elementary reaction.
Step1. A + 2B ↔ C (fast equilibrium, k1 and k-1)
Step2. C + D → E (slow, k2)
a. Find the balanced equation.
*b. Order the species as 'Catalyst', 'Intermediate', 'Reactant' or 'Product'.
*c. Find the rate-determining step (RDS) and express the rate law.
d. Use the Pre-Equilibrium Approximation to obtain the rate law.
*e. Use the Steady-Sate Approximation to obtain the rate law.
