has an experimentally determined rate law of
rate = k [H2][I2]
Some proposed mechanisms for this reaction are:

H, (g) + L,(g)
2 HI(g)
(one-step reaction)
Mechanism B
(1)
1,(g) =2 1(g)
(fast, equilibrium)
k_1
(2)
H, (g) + 2 I(g) –→ 2 HI(g)
(slow)
Mechanism C
(1)
I, (g) = 2 I(g)
(fast, equilibrium)
k_
k,
(2)
I(g) + H, (g) –→ HI(g)+H(g)
(slow)
(3)
H(g)+I(g) → HI(g)
