Answer #1

Rate determining step is slowest step of reaction ( having lowest k value )

since 3rd step is slower than 2nd ( K3 < K2 )

Slow step have high activation energy .

For exergonic reaction \Delta E < 0 means Ep < Er

graph is like this 97 Potential Energy Reaction coordinate Ea, > kay > Eaz & p < ER ( DE LO)
