title: Rate-determining step
text: In chemical kinetics, the overall rate of a reaction is often approximately determined by the slowest step, known as the rate-determining step or rate-limiting step. For a given reaction mechanism, the prediction of the corresponding rate equation is often simplified by using this approximation of the rate-determining step. In principle, the time evolution of the reactant and product concentrations can be determined from the set of simultaneous rate equations for the individual steps of the mech
