What these sets are testing
Rate equations are experimental evidence, not coefficients copied from the overall equation. AQA questions can give you a mechanism and ask which step controls the rate. OCR A also asks you to predict a rate equation from a rate-determining step and to suggest possible mechanism steps from the rate equation and overall equation. In OCR mechanism-construction questions, more than one answer can fit the clues: the slow step must match the rate evidence, the steps must be balanced, and adding them must recover the overall reaction.
