(a)
Interpretation:
The rate law of the base-catalysed reaction in which
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Rate-determining step is the slow step of the reaction. The rate law for the slow reaction is
If the rate of conversion of intermediates to reactants is greater than rate of conversion of intermediate to products, then pre-equilibrium will be present.
The rate law can be calculated as
The equilibrium constant for the fast reaction is
The rate law of base-catalysed reaction is

Interpretation:
The rate law of the acid-catalysed reaction in which
