A chemical reaction proceeds as follows:
`A + C rarr D + F` (Slow)
`F + B rarr G` (Fast)
`G + C rarr E` (Fast)
Suggest rate law, overall under,units for rate constant, and overall reaction.

`{:(A+CrarrD+F ,,("Slow")),(F+BrarrG,,("fast")),(G+CrarrE,,("fast")),(ulbar(A+B+2C rarr D+E),,("The overall the reaction")):}`
Slowest step is the rate-determining step.
`:. r = k[A][C]`
Order of reaction `= 1 + 1 = 2`
Units for `k` for second order `= mol^(-1) L s^(-1)`
