2
Q
What is the rate determining step?
A
All of the reactants which appear on the slowest step, and any before it will appear in the rate equation. It is the slowest step which is the RDS.
3
Q
What is the rate equation?
A
r=k[A]m[B]n
4
Q
What do the square brackets represent?
A
The concentrations
5
Q
What do m and n stand for in the rate equation?
A
They are the orders in which the reactants are raised to.
m+n is the total order for the reaction.
