Question

Given the hypothetical reaction mechanism

$A \overset{I}{⟶} B \overset{II}{⟶} C \overset{III}{⟶} D \overset{IV}{\to} E$ and the rate as

Species formed	Rate of its information
$B$	$0.002 mol / h$ per mole of $A$
$C$	$0.030 mol / h$ per mole of $B$
$D$	$0.011 mol / h$ per mole of $C$
$E$	$0.420 mol / h$ per mole of $D$

The rate determining step is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Among the formation of B , C , D and E , the slowest step is the rate determining step. As formation of B , i.e. 0 . 002 mol / h per mole of A is the slowest step. Hence, step- I is the rate determining step.
