For each of the following questions, give a short explanation (2-3 sentences). You may include equations to assist your explanation. a. In solid state catalysis, what is the mechanistic difference between the Langmuir- Hinshelwood and the Rideal-Eley mechanism? b. In gas phase reactions, why are unimolecular reactions observed to show second order kineties under certain conditions? In aqueous solution, how is the rate constant of a reaction between two anionie reactants affected by the ionic strength? c. d. In enzyme kinetics, why does an enzyme catalysed reaction show zero order kinetics at high concentration of the substrate?
