Problem 2
Consider the following reaction between nitrogen dioxide gas and carbon monoxide
gas
21 + 2H* + H2O2 → I2 + 2H20 (g)
The experimentally determined rate law for this reaction is Rate = k [I"] [H2Oz].
The following mechanism has been proposed
I + H2O2 → HOI + OH"
HOI + I → OH" + I2 (g)
Slow
