In a reaction mechanism, what is the term for the slowest step that determines the overall rate of the reaction? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that a reaction mechanism is a series of steps that describe how a chemical reaction occurs.
  • Step 2: Recognize that not all steps in a reaction mechanism happen at the same speed.
  • Step 3: Identify the step that takes the longest time to complete; this is the slowest step.
  • Step 4: Know that this slowest step controls how fast the overall reaction can occur.
  • Step 5: Learn that this slowest step is called the rate-determining step.
