For the hypothetical reaction $2X + G \to Q + 2M$ , the rate expression is $\frac{{d\left[ Q \right]}}{{dt}} = k{\left[ X \right]^2}$ . Which of the following is the most likely mechanism ?

  • A

    $2X + G \rightleftharpoons 2Q + R$  (fast)

    $Q + R + G \to 2M$  (slow)

  • B

    $X + G \rightleftharpoons Q + R$  (fast)

    $R + X \to 2M$  (slow)

  • C

    $X + X \rightleftharpoons {X_2}$  (fast)

    ${X_2} \to Q + T$  (slow)

    $T + G \to 2M$  (fast)

  • D

    $G + G \rightleftharpoons {G_2}$  (fast)

    ${G_2} + X \to Q + T$  (slow)

    $T + X \to 2M$  (fast)
