Determine the rate-limiting step (slow step) in a reaction that would have the following energy diagram describing the mechanism for the reaction.
Group of answer choices
First step
Second step
Third step
All steps are rate-limiting steps
The reaction is zero-order (no steps are rate-limiting)
Explain the Energy Diagram for a Two-Step Reaction Mechanism ?
propan-1-ol → propene + water
C₃H₈O (l) → C3H6 (g) + H2O (l)
is considered an Elimination E2 reaction. An E2 Elimination is apparently where an external base is added, so the rate law should be rate = k[C₃H₈O][Base] however the rate law I have is only = k[C₃H₈O].
However, in this reaction, it seems no bases are involved because the catalyst being used is sulfuric acid, which is definitely not a base. Can someone help me with what I am missing here?
What factors affect the rate of E2 elimination? Some say that one factor is a strong attacking base -- which I do not think I have.
Please help!! I am so very lost
