Answer:

If we know that a reaction is an elementary reaction, then we know its rate law.

Explanation:

An elementary reaction is a reaction that takes place in one reactive encounter. This means that the two species interact in a single step to give the products.

If two reactants interact in a single step to yield the products then we can easily deduce the rate law from the reaction equation.

For instance, For the reaction;

2A + B → C

The rate law is

rate = k[A]²[B].

If the reaction is an elementary reaction and the equation of the reaction is balanced, then we can deduce the rate law from the balanced reaction equation.
