Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fourth-order reactions do not necessarily have three or more sequential rate determining steps, require a 'Ping Pong' mechanism, or only exist when enzymatically catalyzed. Additionally, Lineweaver-Burk plots are not typically used to analyze fourth-order reactions. Therefore, none of the above choices is a correct answer.
