What is the rate law for step 1 of this reaction? express your answer in standard masteringchemistry notation. for example, if the rate law is k[a][c]3 type k*[a]*[c]^3?

rate = k*[A]^3

Explanation:

The following information is missing in the question:

Consider the following elementary steps that make up the mechanism of a certain reaction

1. 3A -> B+C

2. B+2D -> C+F

In elementary reactions, the order of each reactant in the rate law is equal to the coefficient in the balanced equation. Therefore, for the first step:

rate = k*[A]^3

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
