PreEquilibrium Approach
Can someone explain to me the pre equilibrium approach. I am utterly confused and even after reading page 75 repeatedly, am still super confused. Thank sin advance!

Re: PreEquilibrium Approach
When we have a two step mechanism like A+B <--> AB --> P
and the 2nd step is slow, we can assume that A+B <--> AB is an equilibrium, allowing us to write the rate law, using the equilibrium expression to get rid of the intermediate AB from the expression
