New cards

How to determine a rate law expression if first elementary reaction is not rate limiting?

Make approximations (such as steady state)

2
New cards

Why can’t an intermediate be included in the rate law of an overall reaction?

Because their initial concentrations are unknown

3
New cards

What is the reversibility of a chemical reaction indicated by?

A double arrow

4
New cards

What does the term equilibrium refer to?

A situation in which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction

5
New cards

What does knowledge of the energetics of each elementary reaction in a mechanism allow for?

Construction of an energy profile for the multistep reaction
