Question
In a reaction between two substances A and B, the rate is found to be proportional to the concentration of A at all concentrations studied. At low concentrations of B, the rate of the reaction is found to be proportional to [B], but to level off at high concentrations of B. What is a reasonable explanation for the observed dependence of rate on [B]?
A.✓ Correct
B binds to A prior to the rate-determining step.
B.
The reaction has an order of –1 in B.
C.
The reaction involves a 1:2 stoichiometry of A:B.
D.
The reaction is catalyzed by one of its products.
