[CHM 330] Kinetics Test pchem

[Andrew J. Pounds]

In general I will provide you with the mechanism as the time you would
spend breaking it down into steps (with any number of possible catalysts
and intermediates) would consume too much of your time in a testing
environment.

Now, I could give multiple mechanisms and ask you which one is
consistent with the experimental results...  that is MUCH simpler.
