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