Hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide react to give formaldehyde,under certain conditions.
H2 (g) + CO (g) --> HCHO (g)
The proposed mechanism for this reaction is:
step 1, fast, reversible: H2 <---> 2H
step 2, slow: H + CO ---> HCO
step 3, fast: H + HCO ---> HCHO
What rate law is consistent with this mechanism( and would beallowed) and WHY? EXPLANATION.
