Abstract
This paper presents a general methodology to determine reaction mechanisms using in situ measurement of concentration and reaction rate of intermediates. The criteria for testing the validity of a reaction sequence are discussed. An example is given for a heterogeneous catalytic reaction, the decomposition of ozone on manganese oxide.
