Question
11) Which of the following is true? A) In a reaction mechanism, an intermediate is identical to an activated complex B) If we know that a reaction is an elementary reaction, then we know its rate law C) Since intermediate compounds can be formed, the chemical equations for the elementary reactions in a multistep mechanism do not always have to add to give the chemical equation of the overall process. D) The rate-determining step of a reaction is the rate of the fastest elementary step of its mechanism. E) All of the above statements are true.Explanation / Answer
The true statement is
B) If we know that a reaction is an elementary reaction, then we know its rate law.
Because, for elementary reaction we know the order of the reaction.
