Given the hypothetical reaction mechanism A ⟶ I B ⟶ II C ⟶ III D → IV E and the rate as Species formed Rate of its information B 0 . 002 mol / h per mole of A C 0 . 030 mol / h per mole of B D 0 . 011 mol / h per mole of C E 0 . 420 mol / h per mole of D The rate determining step is
Options
- Astep I
- Bstep II
- Cstep III
- Dstep IV
Correct answer
A. step I
Step-by-step solution
Among the formation of B ,   C ,   D and E , the slowest step is the rate determining step. As formation of B , i.e. 0 . 002   mol / h per mole of A is the slowest step. Hence, step- I is the rate determining step.
