what is the role of csoac? f) what transformation needs to occur to convert the pd-catalyst added, pd(pph 3)4 to the active catalyst a. what number(s) could n equal in pd0 l n? g) using the ssa, derive the rate law for this cycle. two routes to get to intermediate d are shown. assume that the route that goes through intermediate e is not relevant for your derivation (only the outer reactions are needed for this ssa). assume base and acetate do not participate in your rate expression derivations (base is a solid, and acetic acid will likely boil off). h) using the derived expression, explain under what conditions the formation of b is rate- determining.
