Question

Identify the INCORRECT statement.

• A. The overall rate of reaction is determined by the rate of the fastest elementary step.
• B. The rate constant of a typical reaction doubles with a 10°C rise in temperature.
• C. The reaction mechanism is a step-by-step pathway by which reaction occurs
• D. The reaction mechanism is typically a series of elementary reaction steps.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The overall rate of reaction is determined by the rate of the fastest elementary step.

The slowest step is rate determining step.
