From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In chemical kinetics, the overall rate of a reaction is often approximately determined by the slowest step, known as the rate determining step (RDS) or rate-limiting step.
In mathematics, a rate is the ratio between two related quantities. Often it is a rate of change. If the unit or quantity in respect of which something is changing is not specified, usually the rate is per unit time.However, a rate of change can be specified per unit time, or per unit of length or mass or another quantity.ften it is a rate of change.
