Q. Assertion :Complex reaction takes place in different steps and the slowest step determines the rate of reaction. Reason: Order and molecularity of a reaction are always equal.

Q. The slowest step of the reaction in a multi-step reaction is called rate-determining step.

Why does the slowest step considered a rate determining step of the reaction?

X S t e p I - -- \to Y S t e p I I - --- \to Z

is a complex reaction. Total order of reaction is 2 and step II is slow step. What is molecularity of step II?

Q. The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of

N O

B r_{2}

N O B r

{N O}_{(g)} + {B r}_{2} (g) f a s t ⇌ {N O B r}_{2 (g)}

N O {B r}_{2 (g)} + {N O}_{(g)} s l o w ⇌ {2 N O B r}_{(g)}

If the seconds step is the rate determining step,the order of the reaction is:
