For the reaction X2 +Y+Z ---> XY + XZ, it is found that the rate equation is rate = k [X2l [Y). Why does the concentration of Z have no effect on the rate? Select one: O a. Z is an intermediate. b. The concentration of Z is very small and the others are very large. The activation energy for Z to react is very high. Z is present in high concentration.
