  • A reaction mechanism is the sequence of elementary steps by which a chemical reaction occurs. Many reaction mechanisms contain one step that is much slower than the others; this step is known as the rate-determining step. If the rate-determining step is the first step in a mechanism, the rate law for the overall reaction can be derived directly from the stoichiometry of the step's balanced equation.

    So how the hell do you know which one is the slow step without the " slow and fast " labeled beside the mechanisms

    • @axelpedersen3715
      @axelpedersen3715 6 лет назад +7

      You compare it to the experimentally determined rate, since the fast step is so fast, it is basically negligible so the slow step (RDS) will be what matches the EDR

    • @oskarjung6738
      @oskarjung6738 5 лет назад +7

      Generally the step which involves nucleophilic attack , electrophilic attack or formation of carbocation or other intermediates are RDS.

      That's why I don't like chemistry as much as I admire Math. In math, every step is justified and stated clearly! However, I believe chemistry is same, but the way its taught -to me at least- is sometimes frustrating by not justifying the steps.

    • @7Wolf77
      @7Wolf77 6 лет назад +1

      Rahul Kumar which order of reaction are you talking about? Rates are zero, first and second. Having 3 or 4 or more chemical reactions could be broken down into the elementary rates. Which will be 0 through 2nd order reactions.

    • @kingstarsky9739
      @kingstarsky9739 5 лет назад +1

      you can actually have negative orders too! (though they're rarely seen), but the RDS is the slowest step in a mechanism. So you simply find the slowest of the slow.

    • @nightflares3572
      @nightflares3572 3 года назад +1

      RDS is the slowest step in the reaction. So even though u have a lot of slow steps, the slowest one is RDS , it may be in negitive order too.

      Because molecules in the zero order aren't usually listed in the final rate law equation.

    • @jasmine07114
      @jasmine07114 4 года назад +1

      Because the order is the exponent and if you put anything to the power of 0 then you get 1, which is why it wasn't written since 1*x=x

      @nightflares3572 3 года назад

      But that wouldn't make the intermediate NO3 which would be used in second elementary step with CO.

    • @a_stumble1046
      @a_stumble1046 6 лет назад +4

      IIRC, the slowest step has to be determined from experimentation, so it should be given in the question. That being said however, you may be able to use collision theory to determine that for example, 2 gases would react faster than 2 aqueous substances.

    • @nightflares3572
      @nightflares3572 3 года назад +1

      It is impossible, because every reaction has its rate law , thus there would be one RDS ( slowest step in the mechanism)

    • @JohnCena-xq4kg
      @JohnCena-xq4kg 7 лет назад +5

      NO2 + NO2 = NO + NO3
      when you check both sides of the equation they are equal to each other. two nitrogen on each side and 4 oxygen on each side. when the reaction takes place NO3 is formed as a product out of NO2 and NO2. BUT it is considered an intermediate because in the next step it is consumed as a reactant
