Question
![Consider the mechanism.
**Step 1:**
\[ \text{A} \rightleftharpoons \text{B} + \text{C} \]
(equilibrium)
**Step 2:**
\[ \text{C} + \text{D} \rightarrow \text{E} \]
(slow)
**Overall:**
\[ \text{A} + \text{D} \rightarrow \text{B} + \text{E} \]
**Determine the rate law for the overall reaction, where the overall rate constant is represented as \( k \).**
In this mechanism, Step 1 is at equilibrium, which means the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate. Step 2 is slow, indicating it is the rate-determining step. To write the rate law, consider the slow step.
To derive the overall rate law, we can use the concentration of the intermediate \( \text{C} \), determined from the equilibrium step, to express the rate law in terms of the initial reactants \( \text{A} \) and \( \text{D} \).](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/670471fb-2fc9-49cb-b633-ddc43fa4998a/b283a7b3-79d1-4204-b13b-984fa4b44b9b/w7goq6c_thumbnail.jpeg)
