The reaction 2A + B --> C has the following proposed mechanism:

Step 1. A+B --><-- D (fast)
Step 2. D+B ---> E
Step 3. E+A --> C+B

If step 2 is the rate determining step, then the of formation of C should equal?

a. k[A]
b. k[A]^2[B]
c. k[A]^2[B]^2
d. k[A][B]
e. k[A][B]^2

The answer is bhope this

The atomic nucleus made up from protons (yellow) and neutrons (blue) and held together by nuclear forces. nuclear forces (also known as nuclear interactions or strong forces) are the forces that act between two or more nucleons. they bind protons and neutrons (“nucleons”) into atomic

It is a product

Idont really know sorry
