Solution

The reaction mechanism describes the sequence of elementary reactions that occur to go from reactants to products.
Reaction intermediates: They are formed in one step and then consumed in a later step of the mechanism.
The slowest step in the mechanism is called the rate-determining step.

Q. The slowest step of the reaction in a multi-step reaction is called rate-determining step.

Q. Assertion :For the reaction given below, the molecularity of first step is 1 and of second step is 2.

2 O_{3} (g) \to 3 O_{2} (g)

O_{3} (g) ⇌ O_{2} (g) + O (g)

O_{3} (g) + O s l o w - - \to 2 O_{2} (g)

Reason: O(g) is an intermediate and rate of reaction is

K [O_{3}]^{2} [O_{2}]^{- 1}

and order of reaction is 1.

Q. Explain the method of initial rates to determine rate law and order of reaction.

Q. Assertion :Rate of nitration is

C_{6} H_{6} ≃ C_{6} D_{6} ≃ C_{6} T_{6}

Reason: Formation of intermediate is rate determining step in nitration of benzene, not the breaking of

C - H

C - D
