The reaction being studied and proposed mechanisms Using the tools describe above, this lab will allow you to determine a rate law for the reaction below, and also determine the activation energy for the rate determining step (the slow step in the mechanism). If the rate law for a reaction does not include a given reactant, then any elementary step that includes that reactant cannot be the rate determining step H2C CH HoC 21 Figure 1: The iodination of cyclohexanone

Explanation / Answer

We know slow step is rate determining step.Also we know slow step is irreversible reaction while fast reaction is reversible.

According to steps that you have shown, step 3 is irreversible reaction so step 3 is rate determining step.

Therefore rate law = K3[C6H10O][I3-]
