Strategy tips

Never assume reaction order matches stoichiometric coefficients. Only an elementary step's molecularity gives the rate law directly — overall rate laws are determined from experimental data.

Find the rate-determining step before predicting the rate law. If it's the first step, the rate law comes straight from its reactants. If it's a later step, you need the steady-state approximation.

Remember catalysts change the pathway, not the energetics. ΔE (reactants to products) stays the same; only the activation energy and mechanism change.

Read the explanations even when you got it right. Each one teaches a small fact that often returns in a different form on the exam.
