The following mechanism is written as follows:
$$ \text { step } 1:\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH} \underset{k_{-1}}{\stackrel{k_{1}}{\longrightarrow}}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{PH}_{3} \text { (fast) } $$
step \(2:\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au} \stackrel{k_{2}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}+\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{Au}(\) slow \()\)
step \(3:\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{PH}_{3} \stackrel{k_{3}}{\longrightarrow}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\) (fast)
A) Add up the above three equations to get the overall reaction as follows:
step \(1:\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH} \underset{k_{-1}}{\stackrel{k_{1}}{\longrightarrow}}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{PH}_{3}\) (fast)
step \(2:\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au} \stackrel{k_{2}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}+\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{Au}(\) slow \()\)
step \(3:\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{PH}_{3} \stackrel{k_{3}}{\longrightarrow}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\) (fast)
Overall: \({\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}+\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}}\)
B) Intermediates are the species that are produced during reaction and consumed during reaction. Here are in the above mechanism, \(\left(\mathbf{C H}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathbf{A} \mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{P} \mathbf{H}_{3}\) are the intermediates.
C) The rate law is written from the slow step as follows:
Rate \(=k_{2}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right]\)
Apply steady state approximation on \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\) as follows:
$$ \begin{array}{l} k_{1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\right]-k_{-1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right]\left[\mathrm{PH}_{3}\right]-k_{2}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right]=0 \\ {\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right]=\frac{k_{1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\right]}{k_{-1}\left[\mathrm{PH}_{3}\right]+k_{2}}} \end{array} $$
Apply steady-state approximation on \(\mathrm{PH}_{3}\) as follows:
$$ k_{1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\right]-k_{-1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right]\left[\mathrm{PH}_{3}\right]-k_{3}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right]\left[\mathrm{PH}_{3}\right]=0 \quad \ldots \ldots(2) $$
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) as follows:
$$ \left[\mathrm{PH}_{3}\right]=\frac{k_{2}}{k_{3}} $$
Substitute this in \(\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right]\) as follows:
$$ \begin{aligned} \left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right] &=\frac{k_{1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\right]}{k_{-1}\left[\mathrm{PH}_{3}\right]+k_{2}} \\ &=\frac{k_{1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\right]}{k_{-1}\left(\frac{k_{2}}{k_{3}}\right)+k_{2}} \end{aligned} $$
The rate is written as follows:
$$ \begin{aligned} \text { Rate } &=k_{2}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Au}\right] \\ &=\frac{k_{1}\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{AuPH}_{3}\right]}{k_{-1}\left(\frac{k_{2}}{k_{3}}\right)+k_{2}} \end{aligned} $$

A reaction mechanism is defined as the sequence of reaction steps that define the pathway from reactants to products. Each step in a mechanism is an elementary reaction, which describes a single molecular event of usually one or two molecules interacting. The rate law for an overall reaction is the rate law for the slowest step in the mechanism, which is directly related to the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants. The exception to this rule occurs when the slowest step...
