Question

The three step mechanism for the following reaction can be seen below

                                           2 A + 2 B --> C + 2 D

Step 1:   2B + G --> E                      Slow

Step 2:   E + A --> D + F                 Fast

Step 3:   F + A --> C + D + G         Fast

a) Are there any intermediates in the reaction mechanism for this reaction? If so what are they?

b) Is there a catalyst in this reaction mechanism? If so what is it?

c) Does this reaction mechanism have a rate determining step? If so which step is it?
