Consider the following representation of a reaction mechanism. Step 1: A+AC+E (slow)
Step 2. E+BA+D (fast)
Overall reaction: A+B_C+D
What should appear in the rate law for the reaction above?
O only A and B because they are reactants in the overall reaction
only C and C because they are products in the overall reaction
O 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
