Reaction Mechanism Steps
If there is only one step in the reaction, do we assume it is the slow step?

Re: Reaction Mechanism Steps
I think so because the rate law is just determined by that one step, so that is the only step that could be the rate determining step.

Re: Reaction Mechanism Steps
Yes we would have to assume that in order to be able to calculate the rate law

Re: Reaction Mechanism Steps
We don't necessarily need to label it as a slow or fast step, but rather use only that equation in order to solve the rate law.
