≪Propose a reaction mechanism using the criteria presented in the lesson‚ with the third step as the rate-determining step. Hypothetical reaction: A + 2B + 4C ---> 2D + E The rate law has been determined to be [B]^1[C]^2≫ I had prepared the material below before I received your criteria. As you know‚ each step in a reaction mechanism is an elementary step. Each step is characterized by its molecularity.
