Question

2) The reaction mechanism is
w+s ⇌ w*s
2B + w*s ⇌ c*s
3 c*s ⇌ d+s
Suggest a rate-limiting step and derive a rate law.

Answer 1

Answer:

The overall reaction rate depends almost entirely on the rate of the slowest step. If the first step is the slowest, and the entire reaction must wait for it, then it is the rate-determining step.
