(a)
Interpretation:
The given decomposition reaction has to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Add the two equations, cancelling identical terms on opposite sides of the arrow, to obtain the overall reaction. The cancelled terms will be the intermediates if they were first generated and then consumed. Write rate laws for each elementary step; the one that matches the experimental rate law will be the rate-determining step.
