Catalysts and intermediates
How come catalysts are still interpreted within a rate law while intermediates are not?

Re: Catalysts and intermediates
because catalysts have a notable effect on the rate of the reaction, they need to be included in the calculation for the rate constant

Re: Catalysts and intermediates
intermediates only are produced in one step and consumed in the next, while catalysts are consumed and then produced, leaving them in the final reaction, which makes them part of the rate law
