JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3ck015

For the proposed mechanism is: step 1, (fast, equilibrium); step 2, (slow). The rate law consistent with this mechanism is

  1. Arate
  2. Brate
  3. Crate
  4. Drate

Answer: A

The slow step fixes the rate: rate . The intermediate C is removed using the fast equilibrium . Therefore rate , third order overall.
