Methanol is produced from methane and water via the following set of elementary steps: H2o + 2 * h* + oh* Ch4 + 2 * ch3* + h* Ch3* + oh* ch3oh + 2 * Quasi-equilibrated: derive an expression for the rate of methanol formation as a function of rate constants, concentrations of gas-phase species, and total surface sites (l). (10 points, simplify the rate given that step 2 is quasi-equilibrated. Based on these expressions, qualitatively plot the dependence of the rate on the concentration of ch4 at a constant concentration of h2o. (10 points)
