Expert Solution
Step 1

The slow step of the reaction is the rate determining step of the reaction. The rate law for the reaction can be written as:

rate=k3BC ......(1)

Here, C is the intermediate of the reaction. Thus, its concentration is not written in the rate law and derived from the equilibrium approximation.
