The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can be catalyzed byiodide ion. The catalyzed reaction is thought to proceed by a twostep mechanism.

step 1 H2O2(aq) + I-(aq) => H2O(l) + IO-(aq)

step 2 IO-(aq) +H2O2(aq) => H2O(l) +I-(aq)

a. Write the rate law for each of the elementary processes ofthe mechanism.

b. Write the chemical equation for the overall reaction.

c. Identify the intermediate, if any, in the mechanism.

d. If the rate law is Rate= k [H2O2][I-] which step is slow?
