1. Verify Suggested Mechanism Using Experimental Rate Equation
1.20. Redox Reactions
Overall reaction | Mechanism 01 | Mechanism 02 |
\( A_{red} + B_{ox} \rightarrow A_{ox} + B_{red} \) | Step 01: \( A_{red} \rightarrow A_{ox} + e^- \) (oxidation, slow) Step 02: \( B_{ox} + e^- \rightarrow B_{red} \) (reduction) |
Step 01: \( B_{ox} \rightarrow B_{red} + e^- \) (reduction, slow) Step 02: \( A_{red} + e^- \rightarrow A_{ox} \) (oxidation) |
Rate Law | \( \text{Rate} = k[A_{red}] \) | Rate=k[Box]\text{Rate} = k[B_{ox}] |
