Rate-Determining Step and Arrhenius Equation

Cards in this deck (8)
- 1What is a rate-determining step?The step with the slowest rate. This decides the overall rate of the reaction
- 2Complete the sentences: If a reactant appears in the _________ ______________, it must be in the rate-determining step. However, the RDS doesn't have to be the first step of a _______________.If a reactant appears in the RATE EQUATION, it must be in the rate-determining step. However, the RDS doesn't have to be the first step of a MECHANISM.
- 3Predict the reaction mechanism for the equation: 2NO₂ + F₂ --> 2NO₂F The rate equation is k[NO₂][F₂]
