H+=10-pH


Suppose:

  • rate 1 → pH = 6.5
  • rate 1 → pH = 2.00


catalyst → does not appear in overall reaction

Check all that apply.

a) The exponent of [H+] in the rate law is zero.

b) H+ enters the reaction mechanism after the rate-determining step.

c) H+ is an intermediate in the reaction mechanism.

d) H+ serves as a catalyst in the reaction.
