Chemistry Question on Chemical Kinetics
A following mechanism has been proposed for a reaction 2A + B→ D + EA + B→ C + D (slow)A + C → E (fast) .The rate law expression for the reaction is
A
r=k[A]2[B]
B
r=k[A][B]
C
r=k[A]2
D
r = k [A] [C]
Answer
r=k[A][B]
Explanation
Solution
Rate is controlled by slowest step
