CHAPTER 13-KINETICS MECHANISMS AND RATRS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS Learning Check The reaction:A+3BRtE was studied and the following mechanism was finally determined tSBLAF, was studied 1.A+BC 2.C+BD+E 3.E-BF (slow) (fast) (very fast) What is the expected rate law? rate k [AJB CHAPTER 13-KINETICS MECHANISMS AND RATES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

Solution

the rate of reaction and the rate law expression depends upon the slow reaction , which is also known as the rate determining , for the reaction . in this reaction the first reaction between A and B is the rate determining step , hence , rate law is R = k [A][B].
