5.9.A—Identify the rate law for a reaction from a mechanism in which the first step is not rate limiting
Identify the rate law for a reaction from a mechanism in which the first step is not rate limiting.
- If the first elementary reaction is not rate limiting, approximations (such as pre-equilibrium) must be made to determine a rate law expression.
