Consider the reaction below and the proposed mechanism. X₂ + Y + Z→ XY + XZ Step I) X₂ + Y→XY + X (very slow) Step 2) X + Z→ XZ (very fast) What is the rate law for this reaction if the proposed mechanism is correct? Please make sure that you give the entire rate law expression (you need to start with Rate=k). For X2 just use X2 in the rate law expression if it is included.
