An experimental protocol calls for 25.4 mL of a solution in which the potassium ion concentration is 0.0872 M. How would you prepare this solution from pure solid potassium phosphate? (The solvent is water.)
(Please don’t forget to state how you would prepare the solution; don’t simply calculate the grams of potassium phosphate required.)

A chemical equation (even a balanced chemical equation) is not able to tell us how the reaction actually occurs. However, we can predict the rate law of a reaction, if we propose a plausible reaction mechanism. Consider the mechanism proposed for the decomposition reaction A 2 B + C, and understand the rate law from the molecular view.
(a) Derive the possible rate law based on mechanism (I). step 1: A k1 B + X slow step 2: X k2 B + C fast
(b) Derive the possible rate law based on mechanism (II). step 1: A k1 k−1 C + M fast step 2: M k2 2 B slow
(c) Comparing to the rate law in Question 1 (or Question 2), which mechanism is plausible for the decomposition reaction, (I) or (II) ?

A proposed mechanism for the preparation of COBr2 from CO(g) and Br2 is:
Br2 ⇄ 2 Br (g) fast
Br(g) + CO (g) ⇄ COBr fast
COBr + Br2 → COBr2 + Br slow
The correct rate law for this mechanism is:
k [CO][Br2]
k [CO] / [Br2]1/2
k[Br2]
k [CO]2[Br2]
k [CO][Br2]3/2
