Given the following complex reaction mechanism for the reaction Br2(g) + Br2(g) â> 2 HBr (g): Br2 â> 2 Br* (rate constant ka), Br* + H2 â> HBr + H* (rate constant kb), H* + Br2 â> HBr + Br* (rate constant kc), H* + HBr â> H2 + Br* (rate constant kd), Br* + Be* â> Br2 (rate constant ke)
Which of the following is true?
(a)The rate constant for the termination step is ka.
(b)The steady-state approximation can be used to set the concentration
of [H*] and [Br*] to be constant.
(c)There are two propagation steps in this mechanism.
(d)The reaction kinetics will only depend on the last rate constant ke.
