Q
What are the factors that determine the rate determining step?
A
- the slowest step
- controls the overall rate of reaction
1
Q
When is writing rate laws from chemical equations allowed?
A
From the elementary equations ONLY
2
Q
If the proposed rate law is the same as the experimental rate law what needs to confirm it is right?
A
Detection of reaction intermediate
