Rate determining step in a reaction consisting of a number of steps in series is the
Show Hint
Always identify the slowest elementary step to estimate the reaction rate.
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- Fastest step
- Slowest step
- Intermediate step
- Data insufficient; can’t be predicted
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The slowest step controls the overall rate because it limits the progression of the reaction sequence.
This step is known as the rate-determining step.
This step is known as the rate-determining step.
