In a hydrocarbon solution, the gold compound (CH3)3AuPH3 decomposes into ethane (C2H6) and a different gold compound, (CH3)AuPH3. The following mechanism has been proposed for the decomposition of (CH3)3AuPH3:
Step 1: (CH3)3AuPH3 k1⇌k-1 (CH3)3Au + PH3 (fast)
Step 2: (CH3)3Au k2→ C2H6 + (CH3)Au (slow)
Step 3: (CH3)Au + PH3 k3→ (CH3)AuPH3 (fast)
(c) What is the molecularity of each of the elementary steps?

Identify the molecularity of Step 1: (CH_3)_3AuPH_3 ⇌ (CH_3)_3Au + PH_3. Since one molecule of (CH_3)_3AuPH_3 is involved in the reaction, this step is unimolecular.
Identify the molecularity of Step 2: (CH_3)_3Au → C_2H_6 + (CH_3)Au. This step involves the decomposition of a single molecule of (CH_3)_3Au, making it unimolecular.
Identify the molecularity of Step 3: (CH_3)Au + PH_3 → (CH_3)AuPH_3. This step involves two reactant molecules, (CH_3)Au and PH_3, so it is bimolecular.
Summarize the molecularity: Step 1 is unimolecular, Step 2 is unimolecular, and Step 3 is bimolecular.
Understand that molecularity refers to the number of molecules coming together to react in an elementary step, and it is always a whole number.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Molecularity

Molecularity refers to the number of reactant molecules involved in an elementary reaction step. It can be classified as unimolecular (one molecule), bimolecular (two molecules), or termolecular (three molecules). Understanding molecularity is crucial for determining the rate law of a reaction and predicting how changes in concentration affect the reaction rate.

Elementary Steps

Elementary steps are individual reactions that occur in a multi-step reaction mechanism. Each step represents a single molecular event, and the overall reaction is the sum of these steps. Analyzing elementary steps helps in understanding the pathway of the reaction and the role of intermediates, which are species formed during the reaction but not present in the final products.

Reaction Mechanism Overview

Rate Determining Step

The rate determining step (RDS) is the slowest step in a reaction mechanism that dictates the overall reaction rate. It is crucial to identify the RDS because it has the highest activation energy and thus controls how quickly the reaction proceeds. In the provided mechanism, the slow step is where (CH₃)₃Au decomposes, making it essential for calculating the reaction kinetics.
