For the reaction: A -(K1)-> B -(K2)-> C -(K3)-> D, where K3 > K2 > K1; the rate of formation of D is — Chemical Kinetics Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The step with the smallest rate constant is the slowest step and serves as the rate-determining step. Since K1 is the smallest rate constant, Step I (A -> B) is the slowest step, determining the rate of formation of D.
