An irreversible, elementary reaction must have Equation (1.20) as its rate expression. A complex reaction may have an empirical rate equation with the form of Equation (1.20) and with integral values for n and w, without being elementary. The classic example of this statement is a second-order reaction where one of the reactants is present in great excess. Consider the slow hydrolysis of an organic compound in water. A rate expression of the form... 

A vitamin is defined as an organic compound that is required in the diet in small amounts for the maintenance of normal metabofic integrity. Deficiency causes a specific disease, which is cured or prevented only by restoring the vitamin to the diet (Table 45-1). However, vitamin D, which can be made in the skin after exposure to sunhght, and niacin, which can be formed from the essential amino acid tryptophan, do not stricdy conform to this definition.
