Question

Consider the following reaction:

[Cr(H2O)5(SCN)]2+  +  Yn-  -->  [Cr(H2O)5Y](3-n)+  +  SCN-

Which statement is true if this reaction occurs via a dissociation mechanism?

Group of answer choices
Changing the incoming ligand, Yn-, will have a large effect on the rate constant.
The first step of the mechanism is the addition of the Yn- ligand to form a 7-ccordinate intermediate, [Cr(H2O)5(SCN)Y](2-n)+
Changing the incoming ligand, Yn-, will have very little effect on the rate constant.
It is impossible for this reaction to occur via a dissociation mechanism.
