Is the expression for the rate determinig step always equals the actual rate law for the reaction ?

please help soon.

thank you .

Yes the rate determining step is the slowest step of the reaction on which overall rate of reaction depends.Thus rate law is always given by the slowest step but the actual rate law may be different in some cases.
You will be studying steps and mechanisms to derive rate law in your higher studies.
