If it is a second-order reaction, that would be true. However, there are no indications that it is such. Therefore, experimental data must be used to find the reaction order, from which the rate law can be calculated. Correct me if I'm wrong, this is new stuff for me.

You know you have to actually report a thread or message a mod if you think it goes to detritus. Posting that in the thread only serves to bolster your post count. While I agree, this thread doesn't have any references, and therefore probably belongs in beginnings. It is very much a science question, so why detritus? Perhaps the " Short Questions Thread" would have served the OP better.

In any case, it would appear to be limited by the rate-determining-step.
