Slowest step of the multistep reaction is known as _________

Open in App

Solution

Rate-determining step:-
It is actually a step in the multistep reaction process.
It always limits the rate of the overall reaction.
A reaction mechanism or the multistep reaction process is basically the sequence of all the elementary steps for the chemical reaction to take place.
And the slowest step that would be there in the reaction mechanism which is used for deriving the rate of the equation for the reaction is basically known as the rate-determining step.
Therefore, the slowest step of the multistep reaction is known as the rate-determining step.
