Question
step 1: A + H+ -----> B rate constant forward is k1, rate constant reverse is k-1 step 2: B ------> C + H+ rate constant forward is k2, rate constant reverse is k-2 step 3: C + I3- -----> D + 2I- rate constant forward is k3 step 4: D E + H+ rate constant forward is k4,rate3 constant reverse is k44 overall reaction: A + I3 -----> E + H+ + 2I- a) step 1 is the slowest step, and the remaining are fast. what is the rate? b) step 2 is the slowest step, step 1 is in rapid equilibruim and the remaining steps are fast. what is the rate? c) step 3 is the slowest step, steps 1 & 2 are in rapid equlibruim, and step 4 is fast. what is the rate?Explanation / Answer
The rate law of an elementary process does follow from the coefficients of its balanced equation. Rate is determined by the slowest step.hence: a) k1 is the rate b)k2 is rate c)k3 is the RDS
