In the thermal cracking of ethane to form ethylene, it is believed to proceed with the following sequence: A+B → A + B A+BA+B A• → C i. Deduce the rate law for the rate formation of C from the proposed reaction mechanism above. (8 marks) ii. Determine the reaction rate for the formation of C given that the k= 0.56 min`¹, k₁= 0.005 s¹, k2= 0.35 min¹, k3= 0.25 min-¹, the concentration of A = 5 mol/dm³, and B=2 mol/dm³.
