Question
(5) IV. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide react to give formaldehyde under certain conditions.
H2(g) + CO(g) = HCHO(g)
The mechanism proposed for this reaction is
H2(g) = 2 H(g)
H(g) + CO(g)
H(g),+ HCO(g) → HCHO
What rate law is derived from this mechanism?
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
fast
HCO(g)
slow
>
fast
