Use lindemann mechanisms to find reaction kinetics
Not what you're looking for?
In the discussion of the Lindemann mechanism, it was assumed that the rate of activation by collisions with another reactant molecule, A, was the same with a non-reactant molecule, M, such as an inert gas. What if the rates of activation for these two process are different? In this case, the mechanism become
k1
A +M ?A* + M
k-1
k2
A +A ?A* + A
k-2
k3
A* ? P
Demonstrate that the rate law expression for this mechanism is:
R= (k3(k1[A][M]+k2[A]^2)/(k-1[M]+k-2[A]+k3)
