Questions and Answers

What is the key factor that limits the molecularity of a reaction to never exceed three?

  • Decreased rate of reactions with more than three molecules.
  • Limited chances for molecules to undergo effective collisions. (correct)
  • High energy barrier for reactions with more than three molecules.
  • Complexity of higher order reactions.

In a multistep reaction, how is the molecularity determined?

  • By looking at the slowest step only.
  • Only in the first step.
