1. Verify Suggested Mechanism Using Experimental Rate Equation

1.2. Catalyst Involvement

Overall reaction Mechanism 01  Mechanism 02
\( M + N \rightarrow P \) Step 01: \( M + N \rightarrow MN \) (slow)
Step 02: \( MN + C \rightarrow MNC \)
Step 03: \( MNC \rightarrow P + C \)		 Step 01: \( N + C \rightarrow NC \) (slow)
Step 02: \( NC + M \rightarrow NCM \)
Step 03: \( NCM \rightarrow P + C \)
Rate Law  \( \text{Rate} = k[M][N] \) \( \text{Rate} = k[N][C] \)
