Consider the following representation of a reaction mechanism.
Step 1: A+ AC + E (slow)
Step 2: E+BA+ D (fast)
Overall reaction: A + B C + D
→>>
What should appear in the rate law for the reaction above?
O only A and B because they are reactants in the overall reaction
only C and C because they are products in the overall reaction
only A because it is the reactant in the rate-determining step
O only E and B because they are the reactants in the rate-determining step

The rate law depends on only A because it is the reactant in the rate-determining step.

What is the rate law;

The rate law is a representation of the rate of reaction. The fast reaction is  E+B ------> A+ D. The slow reaction is A + A ----->C + E. The overall reaction is A + B ------> C + D.

We know that the rate law depends  only on the  the slow reaction hence the rate law depends on only A because it is the reactant in the rate-determining step.
