Question
Chapter 15, Problem 60E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The rate determining step of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A multistep reaction may have a step that is very slower than the other steps. the reactants can be converted into products as fast as they can complete the slowest step. So the rate of the overall reaction cannot be faster than this slowest step. So, this step is called rate determining step.
