Re: Fast or Slow
For the pre-equilibrium approach, there are 2 ways to do it. I'm going to do it Lavelle's way. For: A + B -> C (fast) C -> D (slow) Write out the rate law for the slow step: Rate = k[C] Since C is an intermediate and it cancels out, you don't want it in your final rate. You can replace it using the ...

Fast or Slow
Is there a way to tell if a step is slow or fast in a proposed mechanism? What sort of data would need to be given? And will this sort of question be asked?
