The proposed mechanism for a reaction is
(1) A(g) + B(g) ? X(g) [fast]
(2) X(g) + C(g) -> Y(g) [slow]
(3) Y(g) -> D(g) [fast]
Determine if each of the following statements is true or false.
a) A(g) is an intermediate
b) The rate law for the second step is k2[X][C]
c) The mechanism is consistent with the rate law k[A][C]
d) The overall equation is A(g) + B(g) + C(g) -> D(g)
e) The one step mechanism B(g) + C(g) -> D(g) is equally valid
