Question: Derive an expression for the rate of disappearance of a species A in a photochemical reaction for which the mechanism is: Hence, show that rate

Derive an expression for the rate of disappearance of a species A in a photochemical reaction for which the mechanism is:

Hence, show that rate measurements will give only a combination of k2 and k3 if a steady state is reached, but that both may be obtained if a steady state is not reached.
