Question

A reaction A → B , involves following mechanism Step 1 A → k 1 B ( f a s t ) Step 2 B → k 2 C ( s l o w ) Step 3 C → k 3 D ( f a s t ) The rate law of the reaction may be given as, rate = k 1 [ A ], rate = k 2 [ B ], rate = k 3 [ C ], rate = k 1 k 2 k 3 [ B ] [ C ]

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

As the slowest step is rate determining step. So rate = k 2 [ B ] .
