Question


Kinetics Which of the following is true? In a reaction mechanism an intermediate is identical to an activated complex. Since intermediate compounds can be formed the chemical equations for the elementary reaches in a multistep mechanism do not always have to add to give the chemical equation of the overall process. If we know that a reaction is an elementary reaction, then we know its rate law. The rate-determining step of a reaction is the rate of the fastest elementary step of its mechanism All of the above

Explanation / Answer

Here the option 3 is the correct answer.

That means " If we know that a reaction is elementary reaction then we know its rate law"

Elementary reaction is carried out by single step reaction rather followed by multi steps. There is no activated complex and no intermediate.

It can be unimolecular , bimolecular and termoleccular reaction.

Hence it is the true .
