Given the following complex reaction mechanism for the reaction Br2(g) + Br2(g) —> 2 HBr (g): Br2 —> 2 Br* (rate constant ka), Br* + H2 —> HBr + H* (rate constant kb), H* + Br2 —> HBr + Br* (rate constant kc), H* + HBr —> H2 + Br* (rate constant kd), Br* + Be* —> 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.
