The hypothetical reaction : $2A + B \to C + D$ is catalyzed by $E$ as indicated in the possible mechanism below -
Step-$1$ : $A + E \rightleftharpoons AE$ (fast)
Step-$2$ : $AE + A \to A_2 + E$ (slow)
Step-$3$ : $A_2 + B \to C + D$ (fast)
What rate law best agrees with this mechanism?

  • A
    $r = k[A][B]$
  • B
    $r = k[A][E]$
  • C
    $r = k[A]^2[E]$
  • D
    $r = k[A]^2[B]$

For a reaction of order $n$,the unit of the rate constant is :

The following reactions occur for the reaction of $NO$ with $Br_2$ to form $NOBr$:
$NO_{(g)} + Br_{2_{(g)}} \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2_{(g)}}$
$NOBr_{2_{(g)}} + NO_{(g)} \rightarrow 2 NOBr_{(g)}$
If the second reaction is the rate-determining step,the order of the reaction with respect to $NO_{(g)}$ will be:

For the reaction $A + B \to \text{products}$,what will be the order of reaction with respect to $A$ and $B$?
