2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the rate-determining step in a reaction mechanism?
Think about which step controls how fast the overall reaction happens.
True or False: Intermediates appear in the overall rate expression.
Recall that intermediates don't show up in the rate law.
What defines the rate-determining step in a multi-step reaction?
Think about which step would create the biggest delay.
True or False: All steps in a reaction contribute equally to the overall reaction rate.
Consider which step might control the timing.
Describe the implications of the rate-determining step in industrial chemical processes. How would you optimize a reaction based on this understanding?
Consider how improving flow could enhance production!
Given a reaction A + 2B → C with an unknown rate law, if increasing [A] doubles the rate, while increasing [B] quadruples it, identify the order of the reaction concerning A and B.
Think about how each change in concentration relates to the observed rate change.
