Re: Catalysts in Rate Law
Yes! I'm pretty sure, because it would be hard to cancel them out due to intermdiates.
for eg, take
A+catalyst-->B (fast)
B-->C + catalyst (slow)
you could cancel out for B, but then your expression would be in terms of the catalyst

Re: Catalysts in Rate Law
I asked my TA today, he said catalysts can be included in elementary step rate laws, but not the overall?

Re: Catalysts in Rate Law
So does an increased concentration of an aqueous catalyst increase the rate of the reaction?
