Question
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by iodide ion. The catalyzed reaction is thought
to proceed by a two step mechanism:
4.
H2O2(aq) + I (aq) → H2O(1) + IO'(aq)
I0(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H20 (1) + O2(g) + I(aq)
(slow)
(fast)
a) Write the chemical equation for the overall process.
b) Identify any intermediates, if any, in the mechanism.
c) Assuming the first step is the rate determining step, predict the rate law for the overall
process.
