Consider the following representation of a reaction mechanism.
step 1: a + a > c + e (slow)
step 2: e + b > a + d (fast)
overall reaction: a + > c + d
what should appear in the rate law for the reaction above?

only a and b because they are reactants in the overall reaction
only c and c because they are products in the overall reaction
only a because it is the reactant in the rate-determining step
only e and b because they are the reactants in the rate-determining step
