X, + Y, - X,Y, rate = K[X,] A reaction and its experimentally determined rate law are represented above. A chemist proposes two different possible mechanisms for the reaction, which are given below. Mechanism 2 X, → 2 X (slow) X + Y2 → XY + Y (fast) X + XY, - X,Y, (fast) X+ XY -- X,Y (fast) Mechanism 1 X, - 2 X (slow) X + Y, - XY, (fast) X,Y + Y - X,Y, (fast) Based on the information above, which of the following is true? Both mechanism 1 and mechanism 2 are consistent with the rate law. B Only mechanism 2 is consistent with the rate law. Only mechanism 1 is consistent with the rate law. Neither mechanism 1 nor mechanism 2 is consistent with the rate law.
