Figure 6:Reaction Coordinate Diagrams showing reactions with 0, 1 and 2 intermediates: The double-headed arrow shows the first, second and third step in each reaction coordinate diagram. In all three of these reactions the first step is the slow step because the activation energy from the reactants to the transition state is the highest.
In chemical kinetics, the overall rate of a reaction is often approximately determined by the slowest step, known as the rate-determining step (RDS or RD-step [1] or r/d step [2] [3]) or rate-limiting step. For a given reaction mechanism, the prediction of the corresponding rate equation (for comparison with the experimental rate law) is often ...

The reaction starting with [4+2] cycloaddition of CF 3 C≡CCF 3 at one of the furan moieties occurs in a concerted fashion via TS1 and represents the rate limiting step of the whole process with the activation barrier ΔG ‡ ≈ 23.1–26.8 kcal/mol. Gibbs free energy profile for the reaction between bis-dienes 3a-c and hexafluoro
Some multistep reactions can also have apparent negative activation energies. For example, the overall rate constant k for a two-step reaction A ⇌ B, B → C is given by k = k 2 K 1, where k 2 is the rate constant of the rate-limiting slow second step and K 1 is the equilibrium constant of the rapid
In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. [ 1 ] A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction.

Hess's law states that the change of enthalpy in a chemical reaction is the same regardless of whether the reaction takes place in one step or several steps, provided the initial and final states of the reactants and products are the same.
