hey so this is for rate law if the first step is the slow step. it is also an equilibrium. I just want to check if this is right. [Acetophenone]+[Ethoxide] k-1 [Intermediate]+[Ethanol] Just want to make sure this will be the rate law: k1/k-1 [Acetophone][Ethoxide] or do I leave out k-1?

[Acetophenone]+[Ethoxide]<-k1-->
k-1
[Intermediate]+[Ethanol]

Just want to make sure this will be the rate law: k1/k-1 [Acetophone][Ethoxide]

or do I leave out k-1?
