Reaction Mechanisms

If there is only single substance (atom, molecule, or ion) involved in the rate-determining step, that reaction is said to be

If there is two substances (atom, molecule, or ion) involved in the rate-determining step, that reaction is said to be

Reaction :

2A + B → C + D

is proposed to have reaction mechanism shown below :

A + B → AB + D (slow)

A + AB → C (fast)

the consistent rate equation with the reaction mechanism above is ____

The decomposition of nitrous oxide :

2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)

is believed to occur by two-step mechanism

N₂O(g) → N₂(g) + O(g) (slow)

N₂O(g) + O(g) → N₂(g) + O₂(g) (fast)

the consistent rate equation based on the mechanism above is ____
