Pre-Equilibrium Approach

Postby Jonathan Shalom 3C » Sun Mar 17, 2024 8:04 pm

Is there a clear outline of the steps of the pre-equilibrium approach?

Write rate law of slow step and set it equal to 1/r times d[R]/dt for rate of product formation
Write K = [P]/[R] for step before slow steps and rearrange it so its [intermediate] = K [R]
Plug K[R] in for intermediate in d[R]/dt = rk [][]
Substitute k/k prime in for K
Replace the whole mess of k’s for k of reaction
