Answer:

The rate of the over all reaction is ;

R=K[A_2]^{1/2}[B]

Explanation:

Step 1 : A_2\rightleftharpoons 2 A fast

Step 2  : A + B\rightarrow AB slow

Equilibrium constant of the reaction in step 1:

K_1=\frac{[A]^2}{[A_2]}....[1]

Overall reaction:

A_2 + 2 B \rightarrow 2 AB

When there is a chemical reaction which taking place in more than 1 step than the rate of the over all reaction is determined by the slowest step occurring during that process;

Here step 2 is slow step, so the rate of the reaction will be;

R=k[A][B]..[2]

Putting value of [A] from [1] in [2]:

R=k\times \sqrt{K_1\times [A_2]}\times [B]

K=k\times (K_1)^{1/2}

K = rate constant of the reaction

The rate of the over all reaction is ;

R=K[A_2]^{1/2}[B]

Definition of chemical change
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions.
