a. The CO exchange reaction has a rate that is first order in the concentration of Cr(12CO)6 but independent of the concentration of 13CO . What does this imply about the mechanism of this reaction?

b. The reaction Cr(CO)6 + PR3 has the rate law of rate = k1[Cr(CO)6] + k2[Cr(CO)6][PR3].

Why does this rate law have two terms?

c. For the general reaction in part b , will bulkier ligands tend to favor the first order or second order pathway? Explain briefly.
