What is the rate law of a reaction set by for reaction mechanisms in which each elementary step is irreversible, or in which the first step is rate limiting?
The molecularity of the slowest elementary step
2

What must be true for a proposed reaction mechanism to be considered plausible or valid?
The rate law derived from the mechanism must be consistent with the rate law determined from analysis of experimental data of the reaction
