Question

Explain rate determining step

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemical kinetics, the overall rate of a reaction is often approximately determined by the slowest step, known as the rate-determining step (RDS) or rate-limiting step. ... In the simplest case the initial step is the slowest, and the overall rate is just the rate of the first step
