Okay, so here the rate determining step of a multi -step reaction can be just described as what.
00:05
So it's either going to be the fastest step, the first step, the slowest step, or the last step.
00:10
So the rate determining step, the rate determines how fast something goes.
00:16
And so if we're thinking about how fast something goes, you can think about runners running and align.
00:23
So however fast the fastest runner is going doesn't necessarily determine how fast the whole group is going.
00:28
And because that one runner could just shoot off and sprint ahead.
00:35
If we look at the fastest step of the reaction, again, if we have all these runners lined up in a row and one person is running extremely fast, they're going to continue running into the person in front of them.
00:51
And if they're in the front, again, they're just going to take off, and it's not like the whole group is moving along...
