In kinetics, the order of a reaction

I think it should be C. You can't always look at the chemical equation of a reaction and tell what order the over all reaction will be. To do this, you need to preform experiments that have some concentrations held constant while changing others to see how the concentrations affected the rate. After enough trials with enough concentrations held constant and changed, you will be able to determine the order of each reactant which will give you the order of the overall reaction.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl‑CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four‑carbon compound to form citrate with the elimination of coenzyme A. Since the product has three carboxyl groups, this pathway is referred to as the cycle. In reaction 2 of the Krebs cycle, this product then undergoes to form isocitrate. The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis‑aconitate is the intermediate product of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid α-cetoglutarate. Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to COO- . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.

In the image, you can see the reaction 2 in Krebs cycle is a two steps reaction with an intermediate cis-aconitase and a product called isocitrate.

Lithium, beryllium, and boron are elements with atomic number 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Even though they are three of the five

Papessa [141]

Explanation:

These elements are rare because:

Helium fuses into the carbon by the combination of three helium nuclei (Z = 2) and one carbon nucleus (Z = 6), therefore bypassing elements with Z= 3, 4 and 5 which are lithium, beryllium, and boron respectively. Therefore, the fusion processes in cores of the stars do not form these three elements.
